It means that you're a follower of Jesus Christ, you believe that he is the Son of God, that the bible is God's word (and that all in it, being God's word, is true), and try to follow it as closely as possible.

Muslims call the followers of Moses and Jesus (the Jews and the Christians respectively) people of the book. This means followers of the holy book Torah and followers of the holy book the Bible. Christians are the followers of Christianity per God revelation of The Bible to Prophet Jesus (Isa in Arabic) and the Jews are the followers of Judaism per God revelation of Torah to Prophet Moses (Musa in Arabic). Muslims are the followers of Islam per God revelation of Quran to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon them all). Since Muslims believe in all God holy books including Torah, the Bible, and the Quran and believe in all God prophets including Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (PBU them), they call the followers of Moses and Jesus (the Jews and the Christians respectively) people of the book.

Mary is a common name in the Bible because it was a popular name during the time the Bible was written. Additionally, Mary was the name of several significant women in the Bible, including Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus' followers.
Principally, followers of Jesus believed he had risen from the dead.
Jesus' followers were his disciples. They were people who believed who Jesus was first, and chose to be loyal to him.
Jesus' death itself didn't particularly strengthen his followers. What really strengthened His followers was Him rising from the grave. As you may know from reading the Bible if you do, some of His followers completely denied that they even knew Him. However, when He came back from the dead, they knew that He was the son of God and King of the Jews so they believed and had faith in Him.
Yes, Jesus is recorded in the Bible as having prayed with others, such as his disciples and followers. One well-known example is the Last Supper, where Jesus prayed with his disciples before his crucifixion.
