Rhaegar's other son being named Aegon is indeed mentioned in the show. This naming makes sense though, Lyanna would not care and Rhaegar is a dick who clearly didn't care about his previous wife. Also he was obsessed with The Prince who was Promised. This actually frames one of the House of the Undying visions in the books in a different light too.

jon has always been something of a golden child for the show, and i didn't feel he'd done anything to earn it in the first two or three seasons. but by season 5, all the better characters were sidelined (tyrion, arya) or dead (robb, tywin) and jon suddenly became by far the most interesting character on the show. it was impossible to look away when jon was on screen in S5.

seasons 6 and 7 have been mostly bland for jon with isolated moments of real greatness, but he's bought himself a lot of leeway from me for his performance in S5.

This is also true for book 5 as well. Tyrion and Dany's storylines were bad, Arya, Jaime, etc. were barely in it, allowing Jon to shine. He had the best storyline in that book other than Theon.
