I can see that this problem is little challenging,how about alternative:

Create rule in outlook if mail comes with specific subject , run excel that extracts complete email address of sender and compare it with existing list in column then copy cell with surname and paste it into google













email
Name
Surname


john.doe.:clap:bla.bla.bla
John
Doe

Your later question just adds more complexity to the issue.

Grabbing the sender from a message is simple. Writing that sender data to a web form is the issue and that remains true for your second question. However as your second message suggests that you want to run a Google search, you could use the following.

SearchSender can be used from an Outlook rule and you can test the macro on a selected message using the TestMacro.

If you want to access text boxes in other web sites then you are going to have to research writing to web pages.
