Randall already pointed out that the term predates M$, but he didn't
quite answer the first question. "Code page" means "character set",
no more nor less AFAICT. For example ISO 8859-1 would be a specific
code page. The term seems to imply a set of no more than about 256
symbols --- I doubt anyone ever called Unicode a code page, for
instance ...
