As for the From, read ogg's post 1810 which explains very well why you should be truthful.
Your name in the To field is not how money orders are deposited. It's related to your bank account number. Now I don't know WHY you wouldn't put your name in the To field, but to each his own. To me that would be strange. And the checks are not from personal accounts, so it really makes no difference what name is in the From field. I could just as easily say my roommate works next to a grocery store and he gets a MO for me 3-4x/week with the gift card I give him. Now as others have said, generally telling the truth to someone who questions your activity leads to no issues. But nobody knows for sure. Like everything in this game, it's all YMMV.
I have a folder that I keep receipts in of the MO and the gift card receipt. If anyone ever questions it, I can easily show proof of my activity.
