There's only so much you can do to make a helicopter go faster; most helicopter operators are more worried about how much they can lift.

Most guys who need to fly a lot faster than helicopters can don't buy helicopters in the first place. If you need to go 300 mph in an aircraft, and you don't need to land in confined areas or hover, you're better off with a Pilatus PC12 or a King Air.

Why a helicopter falling during auto-rotation could reach a terminal speed without the pilot changing any controls?

The helicopter begins to fall because gravity is pulling its weight. As the helicopter accelerates, the air passing past the helicopter creates drag, as the helicopter continues to accelerate the drag Increases until the drag becomes equal to the weight, stopping it from accelerating. Even if the helicopter did not auto rotate it would still reach a terminal speed, however the terminal speed for the non auto rotating helicopter would be a lot higher and the helicopter would take longer to reach this speed.
