One of them is a logical icon-name the other one is a file-name. The logical name refers to an icon outside of the application, the file name refers to a file bundled inside the application.

You can bundle an icon theme and include only the icons you are using in your application. That way icon names would work even on windows and mac.

Yes eventually. But the application doesn't have to care know which one. Feel free to look up QIcon::fromThemeName. It should explain the relevant details.
