Feb 20, 2022 at 22:16 comment added Anurag Sahay I suppose a related question (whose answer I would guess you know already) is who introduced the word sumset and the notation $A+B$ for sumsets. That would give a lower bound for the year for your other two questions that might make it easier to search for the answer.

Feb 20, 2022 at 21:10 comment added Anurag Sahay In this preprint, arxiv.org/pdf/0905.0135.pdf, they seem to say that the answer to your first question is the original sum-product paper of Erdős–Szemerédi ("On sums and products of integers"). I believe equation (3) in the Erdős–Szemerédi paper is what they mean. Erdős–Szemerédi do not use either the terminology restricted sumset, or the sumset notation, however.
