I think they chose "anonymous methods" because the contained code not only has access to local vars in the outer scope, but also to "this" and object members. They really are methods.

Also, I think they chose "lambda expression" over "lambda function" because, as you pointed out, it serves both as a "lambda function" and as an "expression tree". Their chosen term indicates both.
