None but I think there are 3rd party apps or sites that has it, but I've never used them myself.

  1. Not by default, but the game keeps a log file of every action that happens in a game, and there are tools to save those logs and turn them back into a thing you can watch - Untapped and 17lands both have trackers that will do this and also keep statistics about the deck you're playing.

  2. No. Each user gets a display name (which is shown to the opponent) and a number added to the end that is private. This means you don't get told a name is already taken, but it also means the display name isn't enough to add someone as a friend - they need to know your number as well. This might change with them rolling out moderation staff, but until now this was an intentional constraint to make it hard to verbally abuse an opponent after a match.

I get the reasoning for 2. But its annoying when it also protects from reporting.

During a game go to options, click report player, in the upper part of the window you will find their nick#12345 tag, you need that tag to send them friend invite

Add me, I’m a returning MTG player based in Europe - my reddit nick is the same in game :)
