Answer 1

Generally speaking, English-language bibles translate the names of the characters in The Bible stores to their generally-accepted English equivalents.

Yohanan ben Zaccai

would appear in most Bibles as

John the Baptist

He can be found in all four of the Gospels.

Answer 2

Most Jews and Historians do not believe Yohanan ben Zakkai and John the Baptist are analogous persons. Yohanan ben Zakkai was a Jewish Rabbi who negotiated with Vespasian to preserve the Jewish Religious Authorities at Yavne during the Roman Siege of Jerusalem. John the Baptist was a simple, but intelligent man who took it upon himself to baptize people, as was Jewish custom in those days.

Who was Yohanan ben Zaccai why was he important?

Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai, disciple of Hillel, found favor in the eyes of the Roman leader Vespasian, for a reason explained in the Talmud (Gittin 56a-b), and was granted a request. He asked that the Romans (who had already begun the siege of Jerusalem) spare the town of Yavneh and its Torah-scholars. Vespasian acquiesced (Talmud, ibid), and Rabbi Yohanan gathered whatever Torah-sages he could, to Yavneh.After the Destruction during which the Romans razed Jerusalem, it was these sages (Rabbi Eliezer, Rabbi Yehoshua, Rabbi Akiva and many others) who redeemed Jewish captives, distributed charity, and rebuilt whatever they could. (Compare this to the Sadducees, who melted into the background and did not lift a finger to help the people.)
