Answer 1

we still call them keys, llaves, even if they are cards now.

Answer 2

The word for "card" is tarjeta - not tarjecta nor tajecta nor tajejta.

Allow me to introduce you to two sites that list real-world translations in context: Linguee and Reverso. According to these, there is no single common way to say "key card" (just as there is not in English; we also say "card-key" or "key" or "access card" or something else).

Tarjeta de acceso, tarjeta llave, tarjeta de claves, and other terms are used.

Answer 3
