As expected (there would have been other options but Ollie made the most sense)

There was really no other option, considering more track time for the team's 2025 driver can only help. Just hope he has another good—meaning uneventful—weekend.

Did the double there with Prema in F2 last year (sprint race and feature race). As his race engineer said "nobody beats Ollie Bearman in Baku!"

That's good to hear! Unfortunately for him, he isn't driving a Ferrari this time around. Let's hope he is used to how a Haas is driven.

What happens if he get points? He still will have a single entry on the WDC standings or one separate entry for team?

When George subbed for Lewis in 2020 he only had one entry in the championship. Though they were his only points so maybe that's not the best example.

It's a drivers championship, doesn't matter what team you drive for. Now obviously for the WCC those points would count for Haas.
