What are "Achavayas Achidan u'Mesharei Kitrin"?

1.

Rashi: It is solving riddles and explaining hidden matters.

2)

Why did she mention all these attributes in Daniel?

1.

Malbim: He is the greatest to know such matters. Elokim did not intend to put you in darkness. Rather, you will ask him, and he will tell you!

3)

Why did she say that his name is Daniel, and Nebuchadnetzar called him Belteshatzar?

1.

Malbim: Nebuchadnetzar called him Belteshatzar, like his idolatry. Also the king is called by this name of honor 1 . From when Belshatzar became king, no one else may be called via this name. Therefore, he is called Daniel. This does not blemish his Chochmah; he will interpret the matter.

Just there is no Tes in Belshatzar's name. Rav Sadya Gaon (5:1) says that it has no Tes because he stretched his hand against Klei Hashem; his name is like Balash Otzar (he searches for treasure]. (PF)
