This is the volitional, formed with おう after a 五段 verb, as in 行こう or 進もう, and よう after 一段, as in 食べよう or 感じよう. It is not the そう of 探しそう.
It has a number of uses, but one of the most common, and the one here, is roughly 'I should', 'I will', 'we should', 'let's' and such.

Many on-reading + じる verbs are indeed ichidan verbs, e.g., 信じる, 感じる, 念じる, 演じる. This じる is etymologically just する. Note that these verbs have zuru-ending variations like 信ずる. See: Origin of 信じる, 感じる, etc?
However, まじる has nothing to do with this rule. まじる is a plain godan verb whose stem happens to include じ. Likewise, かじる, もじる and ねじる are godan verbs.

I think it's:
名前しか書けてないがいいぞ。
しか...ない means "no(thing)...but" → "only". (not "not...only")
書けてない is a contracted pronunciation of 書けていない. ～ていない can mean "have not done (yet)". (See: Why is a verb in the past (た形) contradicted with ～ていない? ) ～しか書けていない here literally means "have not been able to write anything but~~" "(have) managed to write only~~".
