Of course, because the value of "today" changes each day.

You need to have a field in your form that has this formula for a default, then use that field for the filename.

Is this a form that submits to SharePoint? If so, you just need to make sure your submit data connection allows overwrite of an existing form and you have a form name that won't cause unintentional overwrites.

Q1: you can switch to a read-only view on open if the form is not in the initiated state. To check initiated you can use user roles or qRules IsNew, or just use a value in your main data source that you set on submit. The other option is to use a workflow or Web service to move the form to another folder that the user doesn't have access to - hence they can't open and edit.

Q2: use Submit to save. Seriously, if you are using browser-enavbled forms, I'd look at using submit to save. You'll have to Clear Errors if you have required fields - see qRules for that. If you have no required fields in your form you should be able to submit a form. Just label the button save. You can create a Submit button that also submits but with an added rule of setting status to submitted.
