Literally, like "Thread with liquid gold applied by hand". I generally try to translate everything I can, but this series has so much that just doesn't translate well that I sometimes end up romanizing things because there's no accepted English word or name for them.
@AAASSS1 Hard to say. There's more than one Inari shrine as I recall, and it could have also been fox girls from this one we haven't even seen yet that found her that time.
Was Inari-Okami-sama watching some Gundam there? That looks an awful lot like Axis on her screen, so it could be Zeta, Double Zeta, or Char's Counterattack.
