No, definitely not! Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can give their children any name they want, and converts keep their given names.
Some people mistakenly think that the titles that are used by Mormons are their first names. Mormons commonly address each other by "Brother", "Sister", "Elder", and "Bishop". These are not their names but just titles, like calling someone "Mom", "Doctor", or "Mayor".
Everything. If no family's went, Mormons wouldn't be the same today!
The same as anyone else.
The first Mormons left Nauvoo in February 1846.
The middle names are the same as the first names, they are used interchangeably just like names in English or French.
In the winter of 1847, the Mormons first left Illinois. They traveled as far as Omaha, Nebraska where they build a temporary settlement to wait for spring to come. When spring came, they made their preparations and continued their journey to the Great Salt Lake Valley. In the years that followed many more Mormons would make the same trek. Technically the "Mormons," or followers of Joseph Smith, made their first trek in January-February 1831 from upstate New York to Kirtland, Ohio.
There are more Mormons in North America than Muslims. In fact chances are if you're reading this there is 2 Mormons, and one Muslim also on this same subject in the U.S.
The square and compass represent essentially the same thing to Mormons as they do to Masons. The square reminds Mormons to square their actions by virtue. The compass reminds Mormons to circumscribe their desires and passions within the bounds that the Lord has set.
Nobody. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was founded in the US - so the first Mormons were already in the US! :) If you are speaking of the first Mormons to move from another country to the US, rather than the first Mormons ever in the US, the answer is still nobody. The first Mormons to move from another country to the US came from Canada, and were not 'brought' by any specific person, only encouraged to move so that they could be nearer to the main body of the church.
First names are always spelled the same.

The first Mormons arrived to settle in the Great Salt Lake on July 24, 1847.
