1) This new name is very important. He is no longer Yvain. He is now the Knight with the Lion. He is now the Knight with the courage. The Knight with the Pride, Passion, Honor, and Compassion. This is a very good thing. He is no longer the Knight who went off to foreign lands to fight and go to tournaments and live the good life. He is now the Knight that cares about his wife, and the one who is very chivalrous and manly. He has grown up and is now less immature and less childish. He not only literally has a lion, but actually has a lion inside his heart that makes him a better person.
3) This is a reconcilliation of trickery, but it matters all the same. Laudine is tricked in to loving him again, and although this doesn't necessarily make sense to most people, Laudine can't possibly break this oath because she has to prove that she is a better person than her husband; if she goes back on this she is in fact hypocritical and no better than him. She promises to love the knight who can stop the crazy storms and horrible weather that is going on in her kingdom. Turns out that this knight is her former husband. However forced or unnatural this seems, it is indeed real. They are together. Happily ever after, or something
