Congratulations! And many thanks for your enhancement ideas.

>   1. Make the Name box resizable, so it can be made larger.

The "name box" as the tooltip calls it is a dropdown control. Those are static
controls, sized for the best fit (e.g. made smaller recently for bug 90487).
There are no means for a dynamical resizing, i.e. a splitter on the right side
where you can adjust the width to your needs (and that would affect all
toolbars).
While suggestion for a solution is great you should always make clear what the
issue is (use case). Guess you cannot read long names, and a (bad) alternative
could be to abbreviate the text with ellipsis.

>   2. Only show names that are applicable to the sheet. 

Ideally you add an exemplary sheet for this issue. 

>   1. Add a Value column to show the contents of the named variable (Range or
> formula expression).

Sheet > Named Ranges and Expressions > Manage (ctrl+F3); such a column can
become really large and you jump to the position on selection. So what's the
advantage?
