Answer 1

Oh my gosh, this is a sweet effect, I was never aware of it! So glad I looked at this question, thanks!

Answer 2

Painting with light is the term. The camera is on a tripod on long exposure, the light trails are made by moving something like a flashlight while the shutter is open.

Answer 3

Selina is correct... I like to use sparklers during 4th of July to do this.
