6. I though your question was what was this drug, tocilizumab used for.

It was developed for Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Humira (Adalimumab) as you say was targeting a specific immune element and is used for arthritis for the most part.

All I could find about it was "A study evaluating adalimumab in COVID-19 infection has recently been registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2000030089)."

A search on the registry id (ChiCTR2000030089) doesn't show any results yet, just that it was registered in March.
