Answer 1
The followers of Islam religion are called Muslims. The term "Islamists" is a false terminology that is introduced wrongly by media and some writers. Number of Muslims over the world is 1.57 x 10 9that accounts for around one fourth of the total world population. This is according to Pew Research Center as of October 2009.[refer to the related link below]
Answer 2
It is important to note, first that Islam is a religion, but Islamism is something else. It is a political ideology whose goal is to bring the religious tenets of Islam into the daily functioning of a government and its laws. Islamism is a modern movement whose roots began contemporaneously with the rise of Salafism in the late 1800s and early 1900s in Egypt. Islamism is not by nature violent or expansive. Many Islamist movements have concrete nationalistic goals such as the Islamists in power in Turkey.
Islamism is currently an increasingly popular political ideology in the Middle East and North Africa. In Tunisia, 40% of the members of parliament come from the Islamist party An-Nahda. Turkey and Egypt are both ruled by a super-majority of Islamist party members who control both the legislative and executive branches. Iran is an Islamist State with permanent authority vested in a Grand Ayatollah. However, it is always unclear how many people support Islamism but do not consider themselves Islamists or only support Islamism because of the violence that they associate with the Secularist governments of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Additionally, the strong separation of church and state which is prominent in the West is not as strongly desired in most Muslim-majority countries, so what would appear to be an Islamist from a Western perspective (because of the amount of religion that the person would want in government is much more than in a Western country) is not necessarily an Islamist in a given Muslim-majority country.

What are the names of the forty Americans allegedly marked for assassination by Islamist bloggers and why did they claim that murdering each of these human beings would be a good idea?
I am not aware of the specific names of the Americans issued death threats on this issue, but they were targeted for having made "offensive" comments about Islam, Muslims, or Mohammed. Islamists do not respect the freedom of speech when that speech is strongly critical of Islam, Muslims, or Mohammed. Not only do they believe that Muslims have to respect Mohammed, but Non-Muslims must also respect him. It is important to note that most Muslims are not Islamists and the overwhelming majority of Muslims would not threaten the lives of other human beings regardless of their beliefs or words.
Why did Islamists feel violated?
As compared to Muslims (who are the adherents of the religion of Islam), Islamists are the people who believe in the political theory of Islamism, which is that a state should abide by Islamic Laws in terms of its governance structure. Islamists typically feel violated whenever a majority-Muslim country is governed according to secular principles and permits "un-Islamic" behavior. Such permissions usually include alcohol, permission for Non-Muslims to openluy proselytize their faith, and for women to go around uncovered. They feel violated in this way because they feel that their ideal society does not exist because of these infractions of religious law.

Would any Non-Islamic Radical Organizations like the Neo-Nazis make alliances or secret deals with ISIS?
The Far-Right, like the Neo-Nazis or BNP, does not make alliances with Islamists because they hate Islam and Muslims. It is far more common, however, for ultra-left-wing groups or Muslim-oriented conservative factions to make alliances with Islamists. As regards the ultra-left-wing groups, this is because they see Islamists as an ally against the capitalists. As a regards the Muslim-oriented conservative factions, it is because Islamism is about empowering a conservative Islamic vision.
