Form 8829 (as well as the worksheet) incorrectly name my business. Instead it lists the type of work, such as "Attorney". How do I correct it so it uses my business name?

That field does not show your business name; it shows the ''work description'' field which in your case is Attorney.  You can, however, edit what is in that field by updating your business profile.  Search for Schedule C and use the Jump to link to get to your business summary screen.  Click Edit next to your business name and then select Edit next to ''General Info'', see attached.  It is the Work Description field that is transferred to Form 8829 and associated worksheet.
