The word "Cancel" always implies, that an action is not performed or that an already performed action is undone. See this screenshot:

The word "Cancel" in the upper left makes me believe, that any changes I made there won't be stored. In fact, the correct word here would be "Back" or even better, using the iOS back arrow that Apple uses in their interfaces:

You are correct. We should use "Close" here like we do on other modals.

"About" screen is also saying "Cancel". Well, you cannot change anything there but using the same keywords everywhere is probably best for users to understand.
