1. Who commands the band of Isengard orcs that have taken Merry and Pippin captive?

From Quiz The Two Towers

Answer: Uglúk

Uglúk is an Uruk-hai under orders from Saruman to return with the hobbits alive, causing division with the Mordor and Moria orcs, who have contrary aims.

Lurtz is the name given to an original Uruk leader in Peter Jackson's film adaptions.

From Quiz Tolkien's "The Two Towers"

Gimli still wins the contest, but the numbers are one higher on both cases. "Forty-two, Master Legolas! Alas my ax is notched, for the forty-second had an iron coller round his neck."
