1. Why was Harriet Tubman Called "Moses"?
2. What type of literary device is this?

It's an analogy to the biblical story of Moses. Moses was the one who attempted to lead the Jews to the Promised Land and free them from the slavery and the oppresion that Egyptians were ejecting over them.
Harriet Tubman lead many slaves to freedom and conducted them to a land where they would be no longer slaves.
For me the device is "analogy", it could be a metaphor, but I dont think so.
Check here for the meaning of analogy if you need it

She was called Grandma Moses because after escaping from slavery, she made many trips back to lead more of her people out of slavery.
I do not know what type of literary device that is.

Because she had led some Southern slaves to their freedom in the North by using the Underground Railroad.
