  1. You can promote the Editable Textbox to a variable. If you click at the box you can enable the Variable and change its name at the topmost field on the right side. Now you have different options. You could make a dialog that needs a button to be pressed to save the name. Now if the player types in the name and presses “accept”-button or something like this, you can bind a function to it, that saves the name to a savegame.

  2. You can bind function to buttons by clicking on the button and searching a field in the options menu on the right side.
    There should be a field that has a button with “Bind” on it. If you press it, you will be redirected to the Widget Graph and a new function will be created that is bound to the button. There you can define what it shall do. You can also rename the function like you would do in a normal event graph.

I would recommend to watch the Twitch Stream Record about UMG on Youtube.
This should be the video: - YouTube
They show basic things and explain a bit.
