Hello, sorry for my English, I am using a translator.
1. If you select the chord with the mouse, on the bottom left panel, there is a grid drawing, if you hover over it, it will tell you chord. Click there, and it will show you the chord it is and if you click OK, that name will be written above the selected chord.
Another way to tell which chord/note it is, is to look next to the metronome under the menus: E4. d4 etc
Another way is to open the virtual fretboard, where it will show you all the notes.
2. I think that rocksmiht identifies the chords even if he doesn't write them in guitar pro.
In Eof, you can see the chords/notes in preferences, names. or you can select a note, and below in the information panel, it will show you what they are. Example: fingering f c#
