Who was the companion of Musa in surah Kahaf of Quran and was he a prophet?

Khidr (Allah bless him) is an individual mentioned extensively in surah al-Kahf of the Qur'an as a companion hazrat Musa (A.S). He was one "granted mercy… and taught knowledge" (18:65). The name "Khidr" means "the green one". It is narrated from Abu Hurayra (Allah be well pleased with him) that the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, "He was named Khidr because he sat on a dry, barren piece of land and it suddenly became green under him." [Bukhari, Tirmidhi] The name of Khidr (A.S) is not explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an. The individual hazrat Musa met in surah al-Kahf is only identified as "one of our servants" (16:85), which gave rise to a difference of opinion regarding who exactly this person was. Imam Qurutbi states, "The aforementioned servant is Khidr. The established prophetic narratives mentioned by Imam Qurtubi are found in both Bukhari and Muslim. The scholars differed on whether Khidr (Allah bless him) was a prophet or a saint. Those who believed him to be a prophet did on the base of; He possessed knowledge that even prophet Musa (A.S) did not. Imam Qurtubi states that an individual does not learn nor follow except one who is higher than him and it is not possible that a non-prophetic figure be higher or superior to a prophetic one. He performed actions, such as killing a child and sinking a boat, that could have only been commanded by means of revelation and not spiritual disclosure and unveiling (ilham/kashf). He was described in the Quran as one who was given "mercy from Us" (18:65) Mainly the prophets are the one's Quran usually mentions like this. [Qurtubi, Ahkam al-Qur'an; Abu'l Su`ud, Tafsir; Razi, Tafsir al-Kabir; Nawawi, Sharh Sahih Muslim]

What is the name of a good person who was good with prophet musa?

Two main companions of the Prophet Musa can be mentioned here. One is Khidr Al.S Though the name of Khidr (Allah bless him) is not explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an. The individual our liege-lord Musa (Allah bless him) met in surah al-Kahf is only identified as "one of our servants" (16:85), which gave rise to a difference of opinion regarding who exactly this person was. Imam Qurutbi states, "The aforementioned servant is Khidr according to the majority of scholars and according to what is indicated by established prophetic narratives. Some, whose statement is given no consideration, opposed this stating that it was not Khidr who was the companion of Musa but another knowledgable person." [Tafsir Ahkam al-Qur'an] The other is Hazrat Harun AL.S When Allah commanded the Prophet Musa (as) to communicate His message to Pharaoh, Musa (as) asked for his brother Harun (as) to accompany him. Musa's (as) wish was granted by Allah. Allah declared that Harun (as) had been allowed to accompany Musa (as) in order to support him in his mission to Pharaoh as well as during his struggle with his people. After Allah rescued the Prophet Musa (as) and his adherents from Pharaoh and his soldiers, Musa (as) left his people for sometime, leaving them in the care of Harun (as). However, disbelievers among the tribe of the Prophet Musa (as) took advantage ofis absence; under the leadership of a hypocrite called Samiri, they made an idol in the shape of a calf and began to worship it.
