The first argument to Ajax.Autocompleter must be the object ID, not
its name: HTML id's must be unique in the document, and may not
contain '[' or ']'. The 'name' attribute (which is significant for a
form element) may be any character data, and is where some systems
treat '[]' specially.
I'm not certain but I think if you define your input element as
<input type = "text" id = "name" name = "name[]" ... >
and then
new Ajax.Autocomplete('name', ... )
it will work.

Yes. The whole point of using an autocompleter is that your back-end
code should do the DB access and return only the values *in the
database* which match what the user has so far typed.
