Answer 1

Depends whether the crew have one oar, two oars or a paddle.  If they have two oars each and are facing backwards (i,e, with their backs towards the bow of the boat), then it's sculling; the boat is a scull.  If the crew are facing backwards with one oar each, then it's rowing; the boat is a rowing shell.  If the crew are facing in the direction of travel, with a paddle each, then it's probably a dragon boat.

Answer 2

Boats in that class are typically called either "dragon boats" or "war boats".
