The virus is called varicella zoster virus regardless of whether it is causing chickenpox or shingles. The scientific name of shingles disease is herpes zoster, and the scientific name of chickenpox disease is varicella.
The word can be broken down into parts: path- means disease and -gen means to produce/make while -ic means a process. So the word means a disease making organism. For example the measles virus, chickenpox virus or cold virus.
Varicella, as the name for the disease is properly spelled, is another name for chickenpox.

Hand foot and mouth disease is caused by coxsackie virus, and chickenpox is caused by varicella zoster virus. They are different diseases with different causes, and you can't get one from the other.
Chickenpox vaccine does not cause shingles directly, but the virus, like naturally-caught virus, stays in the spinal cord and may be reactivated later to cause herpes. The chances are lower with chickenpox vaccine than with chickenpox disease.
Chickenpox virus was isolated in 1954.
A chickenpox "carrier" is someone who is infected with chickenpox but does not have symptoms. Anyone susceptible to chickenpox can be a chickenpox carrier. Someone who had the vaccine is unlikely to be infected with and carry chickenpox.
