No, it's not possible to get such information from character name.
You can get this kind of information only if that person has unitTag, i.e. if it is player himself ("player"), target ("target", "reticleoverplayer") or group member ("group<num>").
As for the character name - you can build lookup table for friends and guild members, you can get the same information as in friend list/guild roster. I don't think that there is much more you can do. Maybe you can store some information for all "reticleoverplayer" and group members you have met, but it probably won't be helpful.
