  2. Gravity Forms can do what you want.

    You can restrict the form to be available to registered users. That will ensure the user is registered and logged in. Then, there are merge tags in Gravity Forms which you can use to populate hidden fields if you want, with no need for the user to enter anything.

    Specifically, these merge tags apply to your situation:

    {user:user_email}
    {user:user_login}
    {user:display_name}

    Can you use other merge tags? For example first and last name of user. And how about custom user fields?

  4. Yes, you can retrieve user first and last name, and also custom fields.
