Is Asahi Lina a pseudonym? Is Asahi Linux named after her? Or is it all one big coincidence?

Yes

Other way around, it’s a pseudonym created to work on the project, IIRC Lina got involved early-mid 2022 while Hector Martin started the project in late 2020 / early 2021.
Why does she have so much clout when the latter has been working on this for much longer?
I feel like there's some fanboyism happening here. This person basically just joined the project.

This one.
I assume you mean Asahi Linux GPU driver for Mac M1? or does this run ontop of MacOS somehow?
Yes I meant for the M1.
