2. In "bkmk2", what does the two mean? Was there an "hbmk" before?

Yes, in fact it's still around, called 'hbmk', and it's the 
initial bash script version created by Przemek, which supports 
GCC family compilers, and core options only.

hbmk2 was created to support all shells, all compilers on 
all platforms, also to replace old 'bld.bat' solution, while 
staying compatible with existing hbmk script features and 
options. Now it offers lots of new features, like incremental 
mode, static and dynamic library generation modes, .hbp/.hbm/.hbc 
input files, option filtering, built-in macros, C compiler 
environment autodetection and autoconfiguration, integration 
with VCS systems, built-in complete .po handling, Windows 
resource files, C++ support, implib generation, timestamp 
header generation, multiproject invocation, multilanguage UI, 
.clp support, rtlink/exospace/blinker/clipper emulation support, 
Harbour 1.x and xhb support, conversion of xmate/hbmake/xbuild 
make files to native hbmk2 format, optimization and warning 
control, binary compression, embedded Harbour compiler. And 
a lot more on the deeper level.

Brgds,
Viktor
