I guess the best way is to open the font with a font editor such as FontForge

Second: Where can I find the exact name of the font that should be used in the CSS. The only approach I've been able to find is to open the font in a text editor. However, this doesn't reveal very much.

You can use whichever name you want, but you have to define it and embed the font file(s) in the ePub, like this:

@font-face {
  font-family: "Roman Antique";
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: normal;
  src: url("../fonts/RomanAntique-Italic.otf") format("opentype");
}

h1, h2, h3 {
  font-family: "Roman Antique";
  font-weight: bold;
}

The bold parts have to match, but they could say "foobar" or whatever. Note that in the @font-face block I'm defining the "Roman Antique" bold upright (not italic) font to use the RomanAntique-Italic.otf file, if I have different files for regular and italic variants, I should define each of them, all with the same font-family.
