Multiple multilevel lists with multiple problems!

In the multilevel list dialog box, there is a ListNum field list name which is different from the style name of a list. The former can be used if you ever want to reference a list format in a LISTNUM style. 

In recent versions of Word, you can see the list styles under "List Styles" at Home tab > Paragraph group > Multilevel List. The screen shot below shows is an example of a list style, and its name shows up because I am resting the mouse pointer over the preview.

List styles are styles, just like paragraph or character styles, and you can see them in the Manage Styles dialog box as well. You won't see list styles in the Styles pane, though, which is a bit confusing (although it does make the Styles pane less cluttered).

Think of the list style as a "wrapper" for your list format. You don't really use the list style, only the paragraph styles that are associated with list levels.
