Why a helicopter chopper?

Q: Why is a helicopter called a "Chopper"? A: I think the names comes from the sound of the blades make: whop-whop or chop-chop. FYI, the helicopters that have the loud popping of the blades are usually a 2-blade of the Bell Helicopter design. The multi-blade helicopters do not have a sound as distinctive as the Bell helicopters. The sound comes from the blade striking the vortex generated by the blade ahead of it.

Why is it necessary to have the tail rotor on the helicopter that spins perpendicular to the spin of the main rotor?

"For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction." For the helicopter to make the blade move in one direction, the blade will try to make the helicopter move in the opposite direction. Since the blade tries to make the helicopter spin, something is needed to keep the helicopter from spinning. So the manufacturer puts a tail rotor on the helicopter.
