<form action="/your-name/" method="post">
<label for="your_name">Your name: </label>
<input id="your_name" type="text" name="your_name" value="{{ current_name }}">

Answer 1

The current_name variable will be taken from the current context that template is rendered with, which you define in the view function that renders this template.
