If the field is specific to a protocol, the name begins with the protocol's "filter name", and is followed by a ".".  If it corresponds to a named field in the protocol, its name is the name of the field.

(Not all fields are specific to a protocol; for example, there's a dissector table for Ethernet types, but those are used in a *lot* of protocols, so it's just called "ethertype", not "eth.type".)

Yes.
