1) when you first sync your device, it creates a pairing file (much like SSH generates a pairing key) to identify your device. This information (on a Mac) is stored in ~/Library/Lockdown, changing the name will make no difference as the pairing is based on your Library information.
2) Setting device up as new skips the "restore from backup" option, that's all.
3) Restore from backup will copy your mail, springboard preferences, SMS, Notes, Contacts and Call Log back to your phone. It doesn't affect applications or iPod contents.
