The name "Hoshea" was the name of the student of Moshe. His name was changed to Joshua. The original name means something like "save" and the amended name is "God saves." So they are related in root-meaning and in the person who originally had both names.

Yes, the son of Nun.
I can't speak to the name "Jesus", just to the other two. One of the letter combinations that indicates God's etymological presence is the introductory Yud (like the letter Y).
The last name listed is an Anglicized version of a mistake. The 4 letter name is what it is, but it isn't that.
Yes, they are.
"Jehovah" is the English version of God's Hebrew name, "Yahweh".
Jehovah (or Yahweh) is the basis of many names.

No, in theophoric names the part related to G-d is an addition, not the basis. The basis is the root of the name.
