でこ = Deko, meaning forehead. Note the little fuzzies, like eyebrows.
てこ = Teko, a forehead without the fuzzies.

That's the nickname.

the manga is literally constant silly faces. you can go to any given chapter and lose count of them all.

the only difference is in Amano's paneling where the chibi faces come up in numerous small panels like this, and oftentimes the chibi panels will be juxtaposed vertically alongside a full shot of one of the girls like seen here. The ways she intersperses the cutesy panels is a big selling point of her work and it's why anime that adapt her works do their best to live up to it.

The anime doesn't work with paneling so there's no balance to consider; the faces often get blown up to the whole screen. It's lovely, but it's still derivative. No one at JC Staff said "wow, real lack of muppet faces here. we better fix this manga"

when the entire point of the show is a character desperately wanting to be more than a 'simpering, emotional, woman archetype' (I think that's the literal worst way to put that criticism, that's the main reason it made people go 'yikes', it's kinda weird to be all 'ugh she had an emotional reaction to something that should be trivial but because she has so little context/experience with the world around her she puts a higher value on it? BYE'

I'm not great at telling VAs apart, but it sounded like they had Hazuki Erino voice one of Teko's old friends.

If that's the case, it's a really great bit of fan service. Kozue Amano, the mangaka of Amanchu, wrote Aria, and in its anime adaptation, Hazuki Erino voiced the main character, Akari.

her first line in the episode is a freakin "hahiii"

thank you, whoever did this.
