They treated any opposition just like Kashoggi was treated.
There is no comparison between them and between Amerigo. They don't even know geography. That's why betting on them and allying oneself to them is a time-bomb and a disaster.
Utterly immaterial. These people are properly called 'Saudi Arabians' because they live in a country called 'Saudi Arabia'. It isn't an insult and it isn't meant to imply ownership of the people and it isn't meant to glorify the Saud family. It makes no difference how vile and rapacious the Sauds are, were, or might be in the future.
Objecting to the term 'Saudi Arabian' because of the Saud family makes about as much sense as objecting to 'New Zealander' because the Vikings weren't always very nice.

Calling a country "Valhala" or "Sovingard" is different from calling it "the Arabia of Saud".
Valhala and Sovingarde are not real people.
Imagine your nationality becoming '"AtlasSian". Everywhere you go in the forum you'll be the peasant and I'm the king; you'll be the slave and I'm the owner; I'm the "AtlasS" and you are the "AtlasSian" by birth.
