2. Not sure -- what are the possibilities?
The foliage does look somewhat like certain varieties of sweet potato, but overall, doesn't look quite right, IMO.

Something else that looks a lot like that is a very young, seedling papaya.

What are the items you ordered? That should help us narrow it down. Also, where are you, region and climate?

3. I think you nailed it. It is definitely not a kind of potato. A Garden Web
poster on the "name that plant" forum identified it as papaya. I would have ordered that in a big order in the Spring. Almost remember it. A whim. Trouble is, papaya need a pollinator. I had 6 little seedlings all in a row. My chickens got in and dug all of them up but this little one in the corner.
