Earldom is passed down from father to eldest son so even if a daughter is the eldest she won't get the title she will just stay Lady [forename, surname]. The only way a female can get hold of the title is to marry an Earl then she will become the Countess.
An Earl and a Count are very similar so it is the same for a Count but Count is used in European countries. And their female equivalents are both a Countess.
