The things on the leaves are scale (most likely). The usual treatment is light/perfect/summer/all-season (any one of these) horticultural oil. It's very effective at controlling scale, which has to be smothered or treated with a systemic, smothering being by far the least noxious and logical IPM choice. Mechanical removal and dabbing with alcohol ..... are very ineffective, as are most other home remedies.

For plant ID, may I suggest you look up Dori (Rhizo) or Toni (Hopefulauthor). Both are regulars and good at identifying most houseplants ..... or post a picture. That I suggested those 2 doesn't mean others aren't also skilled, they're just the 2 regulars that came to mind as likely to be able to help.

Pls post the pic, a number of people could likely ID it from that.

As to the pest a close up pic of that too MAY get that IDed as well, or confirm what Al (Tapla) has suggested above.

{{gwi:41335}} (message above) is one of the other regulars I referred to. ;-)
