I recently visited opensecrets.org and was surprised to see a message box in the lower right corner of the window asking if I wanted to talk, and displaying my name.
The pop-up says Chat with opensecrets.org in Messenger.
As far as I know, I haven't allowed Facebook to share any data with this site, so how does this website know my name?

I went on that website and this is what I saw:
They are using the Customer Chat Plugin from Facebook.
They don't know your name, they're just embedding an iframe to allow you to speak with their Facebook page's administrator(s).
Only Facebook knows who you are.
Is it really an iframe and not just a DIV section? If so, what prevents the main website to access its DOM with JS and retrieve the user's name?

@A.Hersean That's really an iframe, so the website can't read the name nor the discussion.
