Well, whether Paul wrote Hebrews is subject to debate.
Yes, the brightness of GOD'S glory and the express image of GOD'S person. This is consistent with Paul's saying Jesus was the image of the invisible God. As for John's reference to Jesus as the Word (logos), you can only connect that to the passage in Hebrews if you translate logos as "divine expression" or God as He expresses Himself (the equivalent of the Aramaic concept of the memra).

Yes it was Paul. No one else carried such authority they would be persuading the Jews to move on from the Sinai Covenant.
And yes WORD, Image of invisible God, and Mamra are all basically the same concept.
