In 1.13 it might be possible, but for now no.

I don't think so, but you could get a creeper spawn egg and name that on an anvil, or spawn a creeper and use a nametag on it.

I do not believe this is possible directly, since there is no way to store/read player names at all. However, there is an alternative way to do it. This work-around is kinda complicated and might not work for the circumstances you have in mind.

Please tell me what you need this mechanic for so I can figure out the best way to do it.

If you are referring to vanilla commands, then the answer is No. It's currently Impossible to do what you are asking for(or at least it isn't feasible). The only way to do this is to test for every player name in existence and to summon a creeper accordingly.

Although I'm pretty sure it would be possible to do this through mods/plugins. I'm just not an expert in that field yet.

You can summon creeper with custom name by this command

/summon creeper ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"CustomNameHere",CustomNameVisible:1}

No, I knew that, read the post! Summon it with a custom name that is the player
i.e If the player is called Steve, the creeper is called Steve.
If the player is called Bob, the creeper is called Bob.
