How do I introduce myself in an email to a yet unknown professor? Is for example "This is [NAME]" appropriate? Or do you use this phrase only if contact has already been made?

I agree with Amii - if you use "this is..." then I think you have already introduced yourself earlier.

I would say "My name is X and I am in the Y year, about to take your class."
