There's no comparison between the two. They're totally different tools. This question is like "what is the advantage of a hammer over a washing machine?"
Fighter jets are good if you want to fight other fighter jets or drop bombs.
Helicopters are good if you want to transport personnel or supplies, observe combat or (if you have an attack helicopter) fight tanks.
Helicopters and jets serve different operational requirements.
Helicopters are better suited for insertion/extraction, ground support, ground attack, SAR, Anti-tank, anti-personnel roles
Jets are better suited for Air Superiority, anti-installation, AWACS, reconnaissance, stealth bombing, long-haul roles

Were World War 2 fighter planes smaller than modern fighter planes?
You mean were WWII fighters smaller than today's jets; because "modern fighter planes" are jets. Generally yes, today's JETS are much larger than WWII propeller driven airplanes. But there were exceptions, the US WWII P47 Thunderbolt would be much larger than a MiG 17 Vietnam era jet. The largest US single engine JET was the F105 Thunderchief; you could literally walk underneath an F105 jet, while it's parked on the ground.
What is better a fighter jet or helicopter?
That's like asking if a shovel is better than a bandsaw, it all depends on what the pilot is asked to do. A helicopter can land just about anywhere, but it can't hunt down another aeroplane.

Why would titanium be used for fighter jets rather than steel?
It is lightweight and stronger than steel. Steel is really heavy and flying requires light but strong materials.
