Why must a W-4 form be completed?

Form W-4 is Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. The purpose of the form is to guide your employer in accurately withholding taxes (income, social security, Medicare) from your earnings. The amount that's withheld is determined by the number of exemptions that you're claiming.Also, if you're completely exempt from federal income tax withholding, you need to fill out Form W-4 for your employer. To have complete exemption, you must meet two conditions. One, the previous year all federal income tax withheld from your earnings was completely refunded to you because you had no tax liability. Two, you're expecting this year to be the same situation: any federal income tax that would be withheld would be completely refunded to you.

Are there any laws in the state of California limiting what a previous employer and tell a prospective employer about an ex employee?

I don't know about in California but I heard that an employer is not allowed to tell anything about an ex employee unless used as a reference. If you just use the employer as a previous job all they are supposed to be allowed to verify is that you did work there and the dates. However if you put them down as a reference and a prospective employer calls them they can elaborate on your character as well.
