Yes, if they are merely using your business name for that informational purpose of making sure that your customers aren't using parking spots reserved for the other business's customers.

Yes. This use of your business name does not offend your trademark or other rights, and is a perfectly acceptable way to protect the other firm's rights in the parking spaces, and perhaps protect your customers from getting towed.
