Sidenote 2: Mercurial repository structure might make it use "file-ids"
(perhaps implicitely), with all the disadvantages (different renames
on different branches) of those.

Nope.

How it is so, if the blobs (file contents) are stored filename hashed?
IIRC hg has some scheme to deal with renames, but it is file-id (file
identity) based AFAIK.

No, the buckets are simply the filename.  If you rename, you take the penalty of duplicating the content (compressed) with a new name.  No big deal there.  So there are *no* file-ids.  Blobs go into the data/index file which corresponds to their filename.
