How could Sirius use Harry's name to acces his own vault? because for the
people in the bank it would seem like Harry asking money from SOMEONE ELSES
account, and why would they grant such a request?"

I assumed he meant that he used Harry's name as the person ordering it (e.g. on the form he wrote Name:Harry Potter, Address:Hogwarts, Bank Details: Gringotts, Vault 711) or something.

Perhaps it works in the same way as ordering things by credit card over the internet or by mail; you have a set of data that works as a "key" for owl order.
