Have you noticed that HAL is one letter away from IBM?
Yes, I think it was deliberate.
No, According to Clarke, it was accidental. He went out of his way in 2010 (the novel, at least) to have Chandra debunk that. In "The Lost Worlds of 2001" (which is the "making of" book), he debunks that claim as well, and says that had it not been too late, he'd have changed HAL's name.
Interesting.
