No, YouTube has no way to know if you gave them permission to upload the videos or not. 

But the DMCA form is a legal document, which is why it requires personal information. And yes, I believe the owner of that channel would see your name as the person who submitted the DMCA, since he gets the chance to submit a counter-notification.
