Z. tetracanthus?
I suspect that this is Z. tetracanthus, which is highly variable, and may not always exhibit PROMINENT spines on the top of the thorax. I'm putting this image on that guide page for now, at least. Update: now concluding this is Z. renardii. Sorry, hope it won't change again:-)

Yes.
Zelus indeed. One of these days I will get around to putting species names on our images. I have a recent key to the species so it is only a matter of making time.
