thanks in advance

Answer 1

I don't believe linkedin offers a direct link to a profile based solely of first and last name. Some folks have the same name as other people.

This might be a good place to start learning about their API: https://developer.linkedin.com/apis

Answer 2

Use the People Search API (https://developer.linkedin.com/api/people-search) to generate a list of matches. Then have the member select the correct person.

Note: your member needs to sign into the application using OAuth. You cannot have a generic role account who searches for people.
