Answer 1

Yeah, that's a pretty subjective term, I don't think it's ever used.  Most often I hear something like "Standard American Accent" when speaking about American English speakers.

Answer 2

heard it before, ref here 2005 bot it would go back much further, term is used in psychology

Answer 3

My first wife who had her Masters in Communications, used to talk about "Neutral Accent." It is what many broadcasters use and is, as far as I can tell, a type of diction that removes all the regional inflections. To me it always sounded a tad Canadian.
