The Hebrews were active in Mecca and Medina and the Prophet actively engaged with them, hearing about the Torah and their prayers. Was the reference, Ha Shem, used for G-d during this time?

I doubt it.

The Hebrew name for god, "HaShem" ("the name"), is written השם (H-SH-M), and the the letter Heh ("Ha" in "HaShem") is just the word "the". It is actually two different words: Ha (ה, the) and Shem (שם, name). The word Shem has an Arabic matching word: Ism.

Hashem, the tribe, is written هاشم (H-'-SH-M) and the letter Ha is an integral part of the word and its root. This word is formed in a classic Arabic mold: Faa'il (haashim), and most probably does not have any connection to the Hebrew HaShem.

Does the tribe name of Prophet Mohammad, Hashem, have origins in the Hebrew name for G-d, Ha Shem?

I doubt it.
But anything is possible with all the years between.
Sad that there had to be so many twists and HATE in the intervening years.

Ha Shem means, the name. Shem derives from the name of Noah's son, Shem.
