I... don't think that's the best intro to promote the project lol. People might think, "Oh, so this got porn in it?"
Anyway...
1) Is his name still a "magnet" nowadays?
2) Is the title grammatically correct?

Wow. EF was a certainly a surprise announcement. I was disappointed seeing that Takeuchi is on this. Now it just looks like modern Fate. I love Kajiura, but that Takeuchi and Kajiura combo being ain't helping me not think of Fate. Higashiguchi artwork for EF had that 2000 style that reminded me of Drag-On Dragoon. But this was expected.

Well, considering Nitro+ is now on the same level of innocence as Visual Arts/KEY or Leaf/Aquaplus, it's not really bringing that much. Also by the time he worked for Nitro+, Gen made his most notable works - Fate/Zero and Madoka.

1) I will say more no than yes. He probably still has the touch, maybe (Thunderbolt Fantasy is still an awesome and very underestimated show) - but he totally cannot carry anything with just his name attached since Gunslinger Stratos. I have not seen Bubble though.
2) Yeah, no problem with grammar. Eisen is an adjective.

^Bubble is a lot of style, no substance.
Also bold of Aniplex to credit as Takeuchi as original character designer when he's not even the original character designer...

Yeah, I was like "Wait, I don't remember Takeuchi being any part of this" before checking the fact that the original designs of LN belonged to the Nitro+ Higashiguchi Chuuou.
Like do they not want to affiliate themselves with the guy who drew eroge stuff by replacing him with Takeuchi - who also did the very same thing, but is just more famous?

With Urobuchi and Mizushima, I'm expecting this gets dark at some point.
The visuals, designs, and music really make this feel kind of Fate-lite.

No, it's not grammatically correct. It should be a compound noun in German. "Eisenflügel" would be correct, but not "Eisen Flügel". "Eisen" by itself is a noun and means "iron".
I'm interested in this show since it's directed by Seiji Mizushima, but on the other hand, I'm not a fan of stories and concepts written by Gen Urobuchi, so I might pass on this one.

I think it means he's the original character designer for the movie. The character designs in the original book illustrations are completely different, so I think they just ditched those designs altogether and Takeuchi redesinged all of them.

I watched the Godzilla anime trilogy, so I need to ask: is this gonna be dark and gritty almost to the point of misanthropy? Because if it is, I will sit this one out.
