Yea it should count as a land and no you cannot return it with Paradoxical Outcome due to this.

Yes. There is nothing in Phyrexian Metamorph 's rules that restricts it to non-land cards - so as long as the object that it copies is either an artifact or a creature (or both) it will copy that object.

When it copies something, it is copying every part of it (name, p/t, type, subtype, etc...) plus it will be an artifact (if it wasn't already).

So if it copies Great Furnace it will become an Artifact Land named Great Furnace.

Paradoxical Outcome specifies that you can only target nonland, nontoken permanents. Since the Metamorph card is not a land, it cannot be targeted.

It IS a land. It copies Great Furnace so becomes an Artifact Land.

Sorry about the typo in my last sentence!
