Yes. There are some semi-conventional variable names for some purposes, and some algorithms only have a small number of basic ways to be written.
For example recently there was a question about the shortest m file to build a particular array. Inexperienced people would have been likely to write a loop, but for more experienced people, the array could be calculated by adding two simple expressions together, and then since it asked for the shortest m file the only available variety was choice of single-letter variable name and choice of which expression was left or right of the +, for a total of only 2*26 letters times 2 positions = 104 possibilities but some names would be much more likely than others, really only 15 or so common answers.
Yes, your MATLAB online drive is only accessible to you. No outsider has access to it without your account credentials. Unless you have shared the files with someone else. No, there are no issues of similarity softwares finding your files in MATLAB online.
