1. Why is it said that the name attribute will neither be an attribute of the TwoDShape() instance nor its prototype object, but sub-objects can still access this attribute through inheritance?
Because the child object inherits an entire prototype chain, not a single prototype
The properties mounted on the prototype chain are certainly not
