2024 ruleset? Is that a 6e? A 5.5?
No, it is the 2024 version of the 5th edition rules. Supposedly fully compatible with existing adventures, and not breaking existing characters.
I expect people will refer to it as 5.5, or 5.2, or anything except '2024'. But we'lll see...
Among other things, yes. Some things I have seen do strike me as logical tweaks and fixes much like 3.5 was to 3e, but some are clearly attempts at "fixing" PR problems by people who don't understand why they're having those problems in the first place. And at least in some cases I expect are personally responsible for said PR problems. It's kind and like a Three Stooges skit about corporate mismanagement, but they honestly think they're doing a good job.
...it's as substantive a revision from fifth edition as the second edition was from AD+D: id est yeah, sixth edition, but the new SRD will be labelled 5.2...
(marketing calls it D+D 50; marketing called fifth edition dungeons & dragons, no version number)
