Not true at all. No one is coming for a visit ever.

You could be known as Daffy Duck or Obama or call yourself that. There is no legal requirement to use a legal name.

What sites do if a legal name is required is to require a credit card and get the info from there.

Clicking,I do not agree is not borderline fraud. Turning off javascript and not getting a tos prompt is not fraud either.

I think disabling javascript could be considered hacking the software.
Intent might matter a little. I wouldn't be surprised if disabling JS for the purpose of bypassing an access control falls afoul of the CFAA but intentionally browsing the web without JS (e.g. via lynx) does not. If that were the case, they'd have to prove that you intentionally circumvented their access controls.
