Is Discover a Cure a lab action, and can I do it as the free action from building a research station?

No. Discover a Cure is a normal action, not a lab action, so it cannot be taken as the free bonus lab action. Lab actions are Characterize a Disease, Process a Sample, Test a Cure and Sequence a Disease.
