The holder of d_norse_pagan_reformed is always going to be named Fylkir, the holder of k_hellenic_pagan_reformer is always going to be named Pontifex Maximus, etc.

I would like to remember that, since the religion starts dead, it has 0 Moral Authority. Owning just all of Greece with full control of the three holy sites (which you'd likely need to wrestle control of from Orthodox priests under Orthodox vassals) will get you to 30, which leaves you with still 20 more to earn before being able to reform (barring any negative gain due to Crusades/Holy Wars).

No, that is also unlocked until after Reformation. That said, when an Emperor turns Hellenic openly after restoring the Empire, there are a couple of occasions where conversions are demanded by event to the vassals, while, if converting secretly through the Delve into the Classics decision, the ruler has access to the existing Secret Cult mechanics to recruit other people or introduce his children to the faith discreetly.
The general idea is that if a random ruler is openly following the faith before the reformation has happened the religion has not yet recovered enough cohesion and authority for it to have access to the Demand Conversion function.
If the player has set the Secret Cults rule to "none", the conversion from Delve into the Classics will be open rather than secret.
Unfortunately, since I did the image (rather than a professional), it does not have a high resolution. I just directly drew over an older event picture.
This is as large as it gets:

More of a minor update, but, since the topic was raised here: after talking about the matter internally, we have decided to move one of the Hellenic holy sites, from Abydos to Syracuse.
From a historical perspective, Syracuse was a fairly important city all the way until the earliest start dates (when its importance starts to wane), and, before Christianity, it was home to several notable Hellenic temples.
From a gameplay perspective, it reduces the clustering of Holy Sites in Greece and gives Italian rulers a more easily accessible holy site to use Delve into the Classics (without needing to wage war against the Papacy/ERE/Egypt).

Yes, that is the principle of the thing. The gods' names were still used in the vernacular in Italy long after the religion had disappeared; various Camps of Mars were still known as such (though their function changed). It would be more of a cultural reference than a religious one.
Yes, if you turn the rule off, the province becomes Orthodox on game start.
Yes, unfortunately there was a severe bug found with god name changes not long before release, which forced us to temporarily deactivate all name changes on Reformation; it should hopefully be fixed for the patch.
