Can steam family members see your account name or just your profile name?
Can members of the new Steam families feature see your account name (The one you can't change) or is it just your profile name shown (the one you can change).

Also can members see your location? Can the person who created the steam family see any of this info?

What info is available to steam family members and the creator of the steam family? How does user privacy work with this.

Unless you choose to display your location on your profile, no one else knows, but given the restrictions on Family Sharing in the Beta, you can't share with those out of your country so people in your Family Share group will know you are all with in the same country.

The only information is what is shared on your profile and what games are available for them to play/download through Family Share.

No one can see your account name but you

Others can only see your publicly visible profile name
