We are trying to connect an accessory to the home's Wi-Fi network and we want to pass that name from the app to the accessory. Passing via Bluetooth.

Is there and API available on iOS to list the networks that the phone can see?

Yes. TN3111 iOS Wi-Fi API overview has links to that info.

No. Again, TN3111 is very clear about this.

I recommend that you read Extra-ordinary Networking > Working with a Wi-Fi Accessory, which has a tonne of hints and tips in this space.
