That is a cluster bomb- and the term is submunitions.
The original ones were a ball of uranium with explosives all around it to press it into a critical mass so it would explode.
Yes, parts of it were bombed.
Napalm is a mixture of a thickening gelling agent and petroleum or a similar fuel for use in an incendiary device. It consist on polystyrene (46 parts), gasoline (33 parts) and benzene (21 parts). Napalm was first developed in 1942 by Harvard researchers cooperating with the U.S. army and used in bombs and flame throwers by mixing a powdered aluminum soap of naphthalene with palpitate (hence napalm). No one is claiming credit for the development of napalm.
An air bomb, often referred to as an aerial bomb, is an explosive weapon designed to be dropped from aircraft onto a target. These bombs come in various types, including conventional high-explosive, cluster munitions, and precision-guided bombs. Their primary purpose is to inflict damage on land or sea targets, and they can vary in size and destructive capability depending on their design and intended use.

the "master" bomb is filled with "bomblets" or munitions that go off at intervals
The dud rate of a typical cluster bomb can vary, but it is typically estimated to be around 5-20%. This means that a significant percentage of the bomblets inside the cluster bomb fail to explode upon impact, posing a risk to civilians who may come into contact with them.
