No, that's not a significant difference. There are IT companies that specialize in finding info online that are used by law firms, insurance carriers, govt agencies, etc, regularly. If I hired the company I use on this case, I can promise you I would expect them to find this post and they almost assuredly would. They are good at their jobs. And frankly, there almost assuredly are no other similar accidents in and around Atlanta recently. A school bus backing into a car is not a normal fact pattern. They mine the Internet for info, find this post, and you can deny the username/email is yours all you want, but nobody is going to buy it.

No, because the fact that the friend has a suspended license has nothing to do with how the accident happened. The proximate cause of the accident was the bus drivers negligence, not the lack of a license by the non-negligent driver.

Just an FYI, this probably isn't fraud bc your friend is not obtaining funds he wouldn't otherwise be entitled to.
Also,FYI, I hope this is a great friend of yours. You are in a bad spot. If he files an injury claim and they low ball his offer and he files a lawsuit, you will be deposed. You will be under oath and have to continue the lie or take the 5th abt being the driver as admitting you weren't would be incriminating yourself for giving false statements to the officer. Testifying falsely under oath is perjury. It's a felony and usually comes along with a nice fine and mostly suspended jail time. Which means no voting, no guns, tough job prospects if you ever need to look for one, etc.
Also, this accident is now going down in the insurance index as you being a driver in a collision. That's staying on your index forever. Accidents that aren't your fault aren't supposed to raise your rates, but don't be surprised if your rates increase at some point with little reasoning. Insurance carriers don't like people who are involved in accidents. Insurance rates are all abt risk and someone with an accident on their record when it wasn't their fault is viewed by carriers as a bigger risk than someone with no accidents.
If I were you, I'd stop talking about the situation. No reason to create a bigger footprint about the situation, even if its an "anonymous" Internet board.

Are you talking about in the main area or VIP? I've lived in Atlanta and go back there once or twice a year for business. As I mentioned in the review, there are girls there that will tell you flat out you can't touch in the back, but those have been the exception in my experience. Maybe I'm just lucky.
