Is there any known reason why Adam had his brothers ID during the shooting or why he used his brothers name when he called that radio show?

I was thinking about this recently and I believe that it may be down to Adam’s dislike of his own appearance. It may be that he used an old ID of Ryan’s (assuming that Ryan had a new one since moving out of the family home) and Adam opted to use this as his means of ID should he ever require it. If you look at pictures of Ryan around 16-18 you can see a slight resemblance, but that’s just my thoughts. I don’t think it was anything sinister, just Adam not wanting to carry around a picture of himself when he was so adverse to having his picture taken and was so focused on his appearance (Maybe body dysmorphia?)

He didn't use his brother's name when calling to the radio show.
We may never know why he used his ID.

As [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] said, he didn't use his brother's name on the radio show. He called himself Greg.
It's really not confirmed that he used the ID either. I would say that it's most likely that he didn't have any ID on him and that is why the police had issues figuring out if it was Adam or Ryan.
If he did have the ID with, I would say that it could have been another way to cause more chaos or confusion. I do feel that he was probably angry at Ryan but he was angry at the whole world so I'm not sure how significant this would be and if it would have been an attempt to interfere with Ryan's life or just to confuse the police.

I wondered if the jacket wasn’t his brothers at some point - Ryan used to shoot too didn’t he?

I do we know for sure that Adam Lanza is the guys calling the radio and spoken about the monkey??
It's very likely. He talked about the call and shared it on the old Columbine forum and a friend of Adam's confirmed that it was his voice. Here's the sauce:
