This short commentary (from 2009) pretty much covers everything on the present topic, IMO.
On the question of Ishvar, I feel He is the interface between brahma and brahmā, also the sole ruler of the world. Ishvar can also be seen as the "barest form of Lord Brahmā the Father".
I think "saguna brahma" shouldn't be used because it neglects the whole spectrum of Lord Brahmā "worship".
On the question of Ishvara though I admit lack of I depth study. But I suppose the word otherwise is often a reserve for a form of Lord Shiva, not that Vishnu or Brahmā cannot take on the term as an epithet.

Things to remember:
1. Life = yajña
2. Depth of Āstika knowledge is directly proportional
to the richness of Sanskrit it is written in
3. Āstika = Bhārata ("east") / Ārya ("west")
4. Varṇa = tripartite division of Vedic polity
5. r = c. x²
where,
r = realisation
constant c = intelligence
variable x = bhakti
