At the "Global" definition the names must be unique, but i believe that
at the "Module" definition you can give both issue types and attributes
a "display name".

Yes. 
maven -Dskip.seed.data=true scarab:create-db
or
ant -Dskip.seed.data=true create-db

All attributes are optional by default.
On the module definition pages you can select them to be "required" if
you wish. You can also choose them to be conditionally required.
