Answer 1

Google Maps uses the Mercator projection for this purpose https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/maptypes#WorldCoordinates

Answer 2

EPSG3857 is the official designation.

Interactive web maps are using "Spherical Mercator" system which uses Mercator projection on
the sphere instead of WGS84 ellipsoid.
