2. "An HTML snippet" is correct. The reason we have two versions of the indefinite article ("a" and "an") is to help with pronunciation - what the French call liaison.

The only names I've heard them called is the less-than sign and the greater-than sign, but those names seem rather informal and apply only to their use in math.

Its purpose is to leave notes and instructions for future programmers or anyone else that needs to understand what is happening in code. The literary equivalent is a footnote.
There they have idiosyncratically used 20th rather than 20th, but the point is that the letters and numbers — more properly, the figures — look different.

The choice of which to use depends on the context, there's no wrong or right answer.
