Official Ruling
In several cases, the name of the creature that was returned won’t match the name of that card once it’s back in its owner’s hand. For example, if the card was copying another creature, it will probably have a different name in its owner’s hand and can be cast again before your next turn. The same is true if a double-faced card with its back face up is returned to its owner’s hand this way.

Official Ruling
If the returned creature had no name while it was on the battlefield (likely because the creature was face down), its owner can still cast face-down creature spells with morph or megamorph, or cast the same card face up, before your next turn.

Official Ruling
Reflector Mage’s ability doesn’t stop any player from playing lands (in the case that the returned creature was also a land).

Reflector Mage was banned in standard on January 13, 2017. We needed to hit at least one card that was unique to Flash, and Reflector Mage was where we landed after much discussion. This ban aims to make white-blue decks still competitive, if a bit weaker. Source: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/latest-developments/standard-2017-01-13
