I would definitely repot this one. Looks like it could have root rot. Find a pot just a little larger by an inch or two, replace the soil with an aerable one, and water when super dry

Looks like a scindapsus, the stems look they are supposed to be fuzzy tbh but won’t hurt to check the roots out incase

Its a polka dot plant. Mine does this all the time and never seems to hurt it. They really don’t like to dry out tho. This is a plant you have to keep trimming down to keep it bushy.
