Games in which one player acts first, followed by another player acting are referred to as Stackelberg games.

Stackelberg games are only a very small subset of sequential games with perfect information, where players (not necessarily just two) move one after another.

The type of games you asked for -- one player acts first, followed by both players acting simultaneously -- falls under the set of sequential games with imperfect information. In the context of industrial organization, there are variants of "market entry games" such as the Spence-Dixit entry-deterrence game, that fit your description.
