Does third order number theory settle CH?

Which of the seven heavens / Was responsible her smile /
Wouldn't be sure but attested / That, whoever it was, a god /
Worth kneeling-to for a while / Had tabernacled and rested.

Yes and no, just as with second-order set theory.

Why do spell the first "mann" with double n and the second "man" with
one n?

Explain, pls, what you mean by "Yes and no". What is the main features
of Second (or Third) Order Set theory comparing with first order one?

The quotation[1] is

Wovon man nicht sprechen kann,
daruber muss man schweigen.

were the first 'u' has an umlaut and the double ess is one of those
beta-like things.

[1] Last paragraph of Tractus Logico-Philosophicus, Routledge & Kegan
Paul, 1971
