1st: How do you say "What is your name?" in Polish(both formal/informal)?
Also, how would you respond?

2nd: I stumbled upon this website looking for more info. It contains pretty basic information for beginners such as myself and others. Maybe you've seen it; maybe not.

I'm a beginner as well, but I'll have a go -

Informal -
Jak masz na imię?

Formal -
Jak Pan Ma na imię?

Answer -
Mam na imię xxxx

You can also use the verb Nazywać (to be named) but I don't think this is so common, and I think means you are asking for their full name (1st and 2nd names)-

Informal -
Jak się nazywasz?

Formal -
Jak się pan nazywa?

Answer
Nazywam się xxxx

2nd: I stumbled upon this website looking for more info. It contains pretty basic information for beginners such as myself and others. Maybe you've seen it; maybe not.

Quite a useful list, but it could be confusing that it doesn't show the right accents (ą and ę etc)

As I said, I'm new to this too, so forgive me if I've made mistakes. I'm sre someone will keep us both right though...

Formal -
Jak Pan Ma na imię?

If you say it to a man. In case of a woman:
Jak pani ma na imię? or
Jak się pani nazywa?
