The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan derived its name from the Prophet's sect, Hashem.

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?

The tribe was (is) Al-Quraish.
Hashem is a smaller grouping, the clan.

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.

I would believe so, but consult a history of Islam, or check an encyclopedia on Mohammad, or check Wikipedia which should also have an article on him.
