    Depends on how it is sent. It can be sent requiring an ID or with ID waived and a test question. You will need the MTCN, Name of Sender, Location of Sender, and test question/answer.

    True enough. Using your real name is always good anyways to help incase a refund is needed.

    I don't think it expires, but I guess that would be a question for WU. Have you tried their website?
