This is the description of the calculators allowed: "The only calculators that may be used, no exceptions, are commercially-produced handheld calculators that are battery or solar-operated, silent, nonprogrammable, and do not have either a full alphabetic keyboard or graphical display."
If there is any question on the test center's part, they will offer you a very basic calculator. I understand that you are stressing about this with your test being today (and this reply is probably too late for you), but to other candidates I would suggest practicing with a very basic, very standard calculator... just in case. There is nothing worse than working with the unfamiliar!
I would not be worried about the fact that the representative asked for your name. I do not believe anything is ever passed along regarding a specific candidate unless there was a report filed by a test center administrator (after an exam has been delivered).
