Do German musicians use the letter B at all when naming musical notes?
In Germany all the note names are the same as English note names except that Bb in German is B and B natural in German is H.
Why do most countries use H instead of B when it comes to notes?
I once hear that other countries use the H instead of a B (or B flat, I can't remember) because of Bach.
B=B
A=A
C=C
H=B or B flat
I cant remember if the first B in his name was a B natural or B flat. A lot of Bach's Fugues have a sequence of the notes.... B, A, C, and B flat..or back in the day.. B, A, C, H

Since chord patterns can be anything from 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 bars (and others) in length, and allowing for all modulations, slash chords and substitutions - there are an almost infinite number of chord patterns. However, only about a couple of dozen or so get used with any regularity (like tunes based on the blues, or Rhythm Changes, or the circle of fifths).

yes
They sound the same, but do not serve the same purpose in composition. For example, if you want to write an F major triad, you would have to write F, A, and C. F, A, and D double flat would be incorrect, as a triad must contain a root, a third, and a fifth.
