which is actually being dropped, the login in sys.server_principals, or the user in databasename.sys..database_principals?

IsNumeric tests to see if the string matches any of a number of specific patterns for all sorts of data types.
select isnumeric('3e0'),isnumeric('3,4'),isnumeric('$23,454')

The system account is one of those special accounts that never logs into...

a server side DML trace is lightweight amd can provide the whodunnit info, but not the rollback of changes.

looking again, i think there is a TargetObjectName in the RENAME schema.
-<xs:complexType name="EVENT_INSTANCE_RENAME"> -<xs:sequence>
<!-- Basic Envelope -->
<xs:element type="SSWNAMEType" name="EventType"/>
<xs:element type="xs:string" name="PostTime"/>
<xs:element type="xs:int" name="SPID"/>
<!-- Server Scoped DDL -->

I'd recommend starting there.
