Most likely to help with the immersion. Giving your horse a realistic or even a strange/goofy name would be fitting for the time period.

Arthur said he joined Dutch when he was about 15 years old. He also mentions that he's been with Dutch for 20 years. Making him 35-36.
Arthur is a complex character. He's definitely an anti-hero, as most Rockstar protagonists are. There are choices you can make in game that determine just how bad Arthur becomes. Story-wise, Arthur is fiercely loyal to his gang, but he is also a thief and a killer, who is also willing to beat helpless people. (Though he makes it clear he does not enjoy this).
