They have always been the 49ers ever since coming into the league. They were the 49ers BEFORE they came into the (National Football) League. They played in the short-lived All-America Football Conference for that league's four years. The 49ers, original Cleveland Browns, and original Baltimore Colts joined the NFL in 1950 after the AAFC disbanded.

No team has ever played a Super Bowl in its home stadium, although there are a couple of instances in which clubs played near their neighborhoods. In Super Bowl XIV, the Los Angeles Rams, who played their home games in Anaheim Stadium, clashed with the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. In Super Bowl XIX, the San Francisco 49ers, whose home turf was Candlestick Park, played the Miami Dolphins at Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, California.

The San Francisco 49ers got their name from the 49ers in the old days that found gold. And then the 49ers in the old days got their names because they found the very first gold ever in 1849!
No, he did not. Jerome Bettis played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams during his career.
