Why do helicopters spin around when they crash?

They do not always "crash" in this manner. although when they do, it is mainly due the instabilization of the tail prop. ============================================================ if the tail prop is not spining the rotation of the main rotor will force the helicopter to spin in the opposite direction, by air drag, the tail counterbalances this force.

Should an outboard prop spin while in neutral?

In neutral, the propeller shaft is not engaged with any other part of the motor so the prop will spin freely. You'll often see this when a boat is being towed down the highway - the prop is spinning the same as a windmill does in the wind. It's best to let it spin cause if you put the motor in gear and the prop hits something, such as your driveway while you're going in or out of your yard, there is no give and you could damage your prop or worse, the gears inside.

Why do all planets spin the same direction?

They don't. Uranus spins on a "sideways" axis with retrograde spin. Venus also has a retrograde spin. Most spin in the same direction though. This is probably because of how the Solar System was formed, from a spinning disc of material.
