1. A lot of wikis don't have .wikia.com as their URL. As long as it's identifiable, it shouldn't matter. Memory Alpha uses "memory-alpha.wikia.com" as its preferred URL; "startrek.wikia.com" is just a redirect. My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Wiki uses mlp.wikia.com. And so on. I don't know what wiki you're talking about, but if you were forking, say, Narutopedia, I don't see why creating a wiki called "The Naruto Database" and using "narutodb.wikia.com" would be a problem.

2. It can be exploited to make useless copies, yes. Wikia servers don't have a space issue, so they aren't overloaded in that way.
