Best I could come up with is “consonant (or vowel) string” — see below. Hope that helps?

Can’t think of one; but a better example of consecutive double letters is a word such as “woolly.” The ones you cite are just double letters.

Your examples are dipthongs. The word would be different if they were not vowels.
