Please note that it is preferred to ask only one question per question. See https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/7425/35864. The three sub-questions have little to do with each other and can easily split into separate questions. Separate questions increase the chance that you get a useful and answer and make the question more useful for people with a similar problem. — moewe, Sep 20 '19 at 12:34
@moewe. Noted. I will edit my question now. Thanks for informing me. — aan, Sep 20 '19 at 12:36

For future readers of this question, please note that biblatex-ext offers an easier solution to moving around names that does not involve having to patch entry drivers. See the already linked Move names of editors followed by (Ed./Eds.) and a comma before title in biblatex.

The name format of the editors after the in is controlled by editorin, you just need

 \DeclareNameAlias{editorin}{given-family}

The relevant name format for biblatex-ext would be called ineditor and not editorin.

thanks. I should look at \DeclareNameAlias{editorin}{given-family}. May I know what is the different between given-family and family-given? — aan, Sep 20 '19 at 13:21
