I'd be surpirsed if Molly allowed them/him a time turner. She'd *have* to be involved, after all, she *knows* how many babies she had. She seems fairly strict about things like this.
I think the mis-naming was there to show just how chaotic the situation was right then. After all, she was seeing four kids off to school with all their stuff, and I get the impression that the Weasleys aren't the most organized or prompt family. I took it as an illustration of just how distracted she was at that moment.
I also think the Weasley twins are written to give us insight into James and Sirius' relationship. They'd do anything for each other, and cannon tells us that they give James and Sirius a run for their money as troublemakers. They are powerful wizards, and I think they'll play an important role later.
