This line of code returns a dictionary with the data you want:

data = json.loads(response.xpath('//script[@type="application/ld+json"]//text()').extract_first())

All you need to do is to access it like:

name = data['itemListElement'][0]['name']
url = data['itemListElement'][0]['url']

Given that the microdata contains a list you will need to check you are referring to the correct product in the list.
