Is his name pronounced Wei Yi or Yi Wei? I've heard a bit of both. Thanks!

Depends whether u put last name first. Typically in oriental names, last name comes first. Organizations just don't provide that flexibility to display it in the beginning.

Yes. And to clarify, the last name is Wei, and the first name is Yi.
