It is a greek orthodox service.

3. No, you don't have to
It's a celebration of life, not a present grabbing opportunity. If you feel the need to do something, make a donation in the child's name.

4. Dunno -- Thankfully I've escaped most religious ceremonies.
A baptism would creep me out.

7. Have to? No.
For just a religious ceremony it would be nice to acknowledge the event with a card and a small gift however.

If the family has some big after-party planned however and you attend it there may be an expectation that most guests will bring gifts of more substance or cash.
