Name: well I already gave you a name when I set up my project, please use that by default
In general, sites are not 1:1 with folders in your workspace.
But to make the single-folder (or single .html file) case easier, would it help to have "Run as a website" available as a menu option in the Navigator view? It would populate the fields as you'd expect and start the site.
Hostname hint: what is this?
This lets you fill in the blank for sites like
_____.orionhub.org. Since you're running a server on your local PC and haven't set up subdomain hosting, it is irrelevant and should be hidden. Logged a bug:

Mappings
Apparently the only valid values in Path are folders, so give me those as choices.
That's not quite true: instead of a folder, you can put in (for example) the URL of a CDN copy of dojo.js and the server will serve it up as part of your site.
But since the folder case is the most common, you're right that it needs to be clearer. Logged another bug for this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=359926
"Mount at" scares me: "What is this going to do?". Isn't it "URL"?
Yes, that would be a better label. It would also help to include the base URL that the site was running at (or going to be running at, for example 127.0.0.2:8080), as your Purple example implies. I made a note of that in the last bug.

I've got tired of click location, control A, control C, control T, control V, deleting "/edit/edit.html#", enter as a way of previewing my site. Now I have to say this feature is one of the main reasons I started and stuck with Orion: it's way easier than many other alternatives.
But it could be easier. In fact it could be a single click on any .html edit page.
But maybe the Sites feature can be a close second? Or not. I found the UI confusing. It's about servers, I'm about web sites.

Mappings
Apparently the only valid values in Path are folders, so give me those as choices. And isn't this "Folder" not "Path"?
"Mount at" scares me: "What is this going to do?". Isn't it "URL"?
EG
Mappings:
Folder URL Actions
/Purple http://127.0.0.2:8080 /
where the trailing slash is writable by the user.
