1-Is it islamic or cultural tradition for women to take husband'd name as surname after marraige?

2-Also, can a husband (not having ijaza from any sufi order), take bayah from him wife at the time of first meeting in terms the Prophet took bayah from beliving women generally.

Allah says: “O Prophet! When believing women come to you to take the oath of allegiance to you that they will ascribe no thing as partner unto Allah, and will neither steal nor commit adultery nor kill their children, nor produce any lie that they have devised between their hands and feet, nor disobey you in what is right, then accept their allegiance and ask Allah to forgive them. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” [Sûrah al-Mumtahanah: 12]

I don't know about the second question. but with regards to the first question.

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf has stated that taking of the second name of the husband is a cultural practice and not an Islamic one. Islam does not say or encourage that the wife has to take the husband's second name.

I was just wondering about this yesterday, actually. Growing up in the UK, it's custom here to take the groom's name after marriage, although some double-barrell it. I'd double-barrell I think, just out of respect for my family since I already plan on slightly changing my first name by deed poll to Saira

It is better to retain your family name. That is because you do not see the adoption of names other than those belonging to one's family during the time of the sahaba . Even adopted orphans are not allowed to be given names by their adoptive parents and must retain their original family name.
