The prophet who foretold the slaughter years earlier was Joel.
The name or the book? According to tradition, the book of Joel prophesied a vast swarm of locusts and called upon the Israelites to repent. The locusts overran the land as predicted. Others have commented that the four kinds of locusts to which he refers hint to the four kingdoms (Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome) to whose rule the Israelites would be subjected.
There were four Herods

No, Jesus was not King Herod's son. Jesus' mother was Mary, who was not related to Herod. Jesus was born in Bethlehem to Mary and Joseph, and Herod the Great was the ruler of Judea at the time of Jesus' birth.
It was not Herods niece who danced but Herods own daughter Salome. She and her mother asked for Johns head on a platter as John told Herod it was wrong to marry your brothers wife.
It was Chuza, the steward in Herods court.
Herod was the name of the family ruling Palestine immediately before and to some degree immediately after Christ's birth. The most prominent family member was Herod son of Antipater. Other Herods named in the New Testament include the following:Agrippa IAgrippa IIDruscillaBerniceHerod PhilipHerodiasSalome
First wife Doris who he divorced. Second wife Mariamne, a Hasmonaean princess he married for political advantage.
Firstly, the question is incorrect - I think it was meant to be, "does Herod's killing of the innocents matter in the Jewish faith?" No. It is recorded in the New Testament, but I suspect there is a mention in the rabbinical commentaries - as there is on many things both religious and mundane. You may want to research into those. Jews see Jesus - Yeshua - as a prophet, not the messiah (unless one is a messianic jew!).
There are actually several King Herods. There were all part of a lineage that were part Jewish and part Roman. King Herod the Great was the most famous.
1) Antipater I (Progenitor of the Herods) 2) Antipater II 3) Herod the Great (second son of Antipater (Antipas) II by his wife Cypros). 4) Herod Antipas (Son of Herod the Great and Malthace, a Samaritan woman). 5) Herod Agrippa I (Grandson of Herod the Great; a son of Aristobulus). 6) Herod Agrippa II (Great-grandson of Herod the Great; son of Herod Agrippa I and his wife Cypros). 7) Herod Philip (Son of Herod the Great by Mariamne II). 8) Philip the tetrarch (Son of Herod the Great by his wife Cleopatra of Jerusalem).
