The sign of the cross simbolizes the sacrifice of Jesus and it is commonly accompanied by the trinitarian formula: 'In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'. The trinitarian formula allegedly came from the words that Jesus commanded to his apostles after his ressurection: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

The bible says that the two men hung on the cross on each side of Jesus were robbers, they might have done this repeatedly so they were crucified.
There is nothing in the bible about Jesus being hung on a cross by three nails. It only records the account of him being crucified -- nothing about the specific method used.
Two unnamed criminals. One was a criminal and the other was a murderer; I don't recall the Bible giving names.
