If you are even moderately successful as a developer I recommend getting an LLC to protect your assets. That way even if the worst happens, they can't take your house, only the assets that belong to your LLC (app income).

You can't copyright a name, only trademark it, and they're only valid if actually registered. That guy got you to change your name just because he wanted to use it.
Etch-A-Sketch doesn't sound very reasonable either, but it probably wouldn't have been worth it to fight with Ohio Art's lawyers.
You'll be 100% fine with Draw as it's a generic term, but likewise you can't complain if someone else releases an App named Draw (though I don't think Apple allows two apps with the same name, so in that sense you'll be fine).
