I can't find any information on how to make a kernel module load
another module. Can someone please tell me how to do this? Thanks in
advance.

Use a symbol exported by that other module and your module should
automatically depend on that module and modprobe will nicely load it
before your module for you.

Don't know. Of course really why would you care if a module of a
certain name is loaded. You should only care that a module providing
the function you want is loaded.
Perhaps you need to explain what you are trying to do.
