This would give you the list of validation rules:

MetadataService.MetadataPort service = new MetadataService.MetadataPort();
service.SessionHeader = new MetadataService.SessionHeader_element();
service.SessionHeader.sessionId = UserInfo.getSessionId();

List<MetadataService.ListMetadataQuery> queries = new List<MetadataService.ListMetadataQuery>();    
MetadataService.ListMetadataQuery queryLayout = new MetadataService.ListMetadataQuery();
queryLayout.folder = '';
queryLayout.type_x = 'ValidationRule';
queries.add(queryLayout);    
MetadataService.FileProperties[] fileProperties = service.listMetadata(queries, 25);
  if(fileProperties!=null)
    {
      for(MetadataService.FileProperties fileProperty : fileProperties)
      {
          System.debug(fileProperty.fullName); 
      }
    }

For workflows, you would need to list the files using the above code, and then use retreive call to get list of workflow rules. 

You seem to be using Metadata API Apex Wrapper, see if you have a VF page titled "metadataretrieve" in the wrapper, if you do, try the VF page, select workflow, and click "List", then select any object that has workflow, and click "Retreive". Once you see the result, you can change and use the code in controller class.

I tried the same to fetch the Dashboards of an org:

MetadataService.MetadataPort service = new MetadataService.MetadataPort();
            service.SessionHeader = new MetadataService.SessionHeader_element();
            service.SessionHeader.sessionId = UserInfo.getSessionId();
           
            List<MetadataService.ListMetadataQuery> queries = new List<MetadataService.ListMetadataQuery>();   
            MetadataService.ListMetadataQuery queryLayout = new MetadataService.ListMetadataQuery();
            //queryLayout.folder = 'Ezone_dashboard/TestDashboard';
            //queryLayout.folder = 'dashboards/Ezone_dashboard';
            queryLayout.folder = 'Ezone_dashboard';
            queryLayout.type_x = 'Dashboard';
            queries.add(queryLayout);   
            MetadataService.FileProperties[] fileProperties = service.listMetadata(queries, 31);
         
              if(fileProperties!=null)
                {
                  for(MetadataService.FileProperties fileProperty : fileProperties)
                  {
                      System.debug('***************'+fileProperty.fullName);
                  }
                }

However I am getting null response. I guess I am not able to set the folder attribute properly .. Can any body help ?
