Whats the name for a question you're not supposed to answer?
It is a RHETORICAL QUESTION. What makes a question rhetorical is that it is not asked as a question, but more as a fact, and does not require an answer. It is usually defined as any question asked for a purpose other than to obtain the information the question asks. * Example : "Why do you keep doing that?" It is commonly used as a persuasive element in a speech or text. * Example : "Does the government really care about the taxpayer?" Sometimes the question is open to an uninvited answer. * Example : "Do you take me for a fool?"

No. It is asking a question that really does not need an answer, in order to make a point. Ever hear anyone say "How could I be so stupid?" That is a rhetorical question. They do not expect you to tell them how they could have been that stupid. It is also used in advertising quite a bit. "Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?" or "Aren't you glad you use Dial?" are examples.

Why does a rhetorical question mean one that doesn't really require an answer if rhetoric means the art of speaking and writing effectively?
Because a rhetorical question is no 'question' at all - the speaker does not want an answer. Instead it is a declarative sentence. For rhetorical reasons (!) the formerly declarative sentence's syntax was converted to the syntax of a interrogative sentence - just for rhetorical reasons. If you have a problem understanding this, think of it like this: You could just say "Lisa, I love you" but instead you say something like this "Lisa, your hair is golden as the sun - I adore thee". It's just a lingual trick of the trade to emphasize something. So the rhetorical question is a declarative sentence which is converted to a 'question' to make it rhetorical interesting. Example: "We don't need a fifth wheel on this car." becomes "Do we really need a fifth wheel on this car?"
