What did they call the horsehair rope used in sealing plumbing drain pipes?
This may seem as a very odd answer, but technically, this horse type hair is called hemp in South Africa. It is used to join two metal pipes together to make a water or leak tight proof joint. The reasoning for it being called hemp and not another name is unknown and its orgins are also unknown. In the US, cast iron pipes, and this method of sealing them, has virtually disappeared, along with plumbers with the skill to do it. Although made from hemp, we call the rope/tar material oakum.

Can kerosene be used in old melting pots to melt lead?
yes it can. kerosene lead melters were used by plumbers for many years. sewer drain lines were made of cast iron. one end of the pipe was a about half an inch larger than the od of the pipe. you put the pipe into the flared end of the next pipe and packed oakum down into the gap between them with a chisel leaving about half an inch from the top. then you poured molten lead in to fill up the rest of the space and used a special chisel and a hammer to drive the lead down on to the oakum and finish the seal. nowadays they use pvc pipe and glue. which is a whole lot easier.
