"Sounds kind of whorish to me--Molly Wiggins"
#1. Yes, this quotation indicates a conflict. The conflict is Vivian and Grant are tryin to think of a good name for a child and Vivian wants it to be Molly if it's a girl. Grant thinks the name sounds whorish and they later decide that the name will be Pauline if it's a girl and Paul if it's a boy.
#2. Yes, this quote characterizes Grant. He is characterized as a thoughtful father because he doesn't want his daughter to sound like or be a whore. Vivian says "Then let her decide. If she likes, we'll keep it. If she doesn't, we'll call her Pauline." That shows that she agrees with him and is willing to change it if necessary.
