Any kind of Flash support, Lite maybe, or some sort of replacement?
Helium was WebKit-based, and mostly UI code apart from the engine - and UI wasn't all that usable for us, as we had different designs. So no, no ancestral roots there. One of Helium's authors does work on the browser, though.

As for a name, it's just called "Sailfish Browser" in the version string afair. I don't know the answers to your other questions offhand - although AFAIK Adobe don't work on Flash on ARM anymore.
