Answer 1

Its good to name join table by using names of tables which it connects. For example two tables "products" and "product_tags", and the joining table is called "product_product_tags". The big advantage is that from this name you can immediatelly say which tables its joining together. When you have 50 and more tables in your DB its good to have it like this and you no longer need to think about joining tables purposes.
