What is perseus realm?
He was raised on Seriphos, and ruled Argos in the Greek Peloponessos; his grandfathers kingdom.
Why was perseus given such herculean task?
I'm not sure that Perseus' task could be called Herculean. By definition, a "herculean" task is one that requires great strength. Perseus' task, while daunting and certainly dangerous, didn't require any amount of strength to accomplish. He needed cunning and a strong wit, something Hercules seemed to lack. As to your question "WHY"... the king of the land in which Perseus and his mother lived greatly desired to make Danae his wife. Perseus always prevented it. So, to be rid of him, Polydectes held a feast, and asked that all those attending offer up a horse as a gift, knowing that as a fisherman, Perseus would have none to give. Offering up an apology, Perseus offered to the king anything else his heart desired. Polydectes asked for the head of the mortal gorgon, Medusa, thinking that Perseus would never return.

Why was Medusa wanted?
Medusa wasn't "wanted". She was a well-known monster and hero-killer. When Perseus and his mother were cast into the sea by her father, Acrisius, they were discovered and cared for by a fisherman named Dictys. He loved Danae, but she did not love him back, but he cared for them anyway. The fisherman's brother, Polydectes, was the king of Seriphos. He also desired Danae, but was willing to take her by force if needed. So he devised a way to get Perseus off the island, hopefully never to return. So, he threw a banquet and invited his brother and his family. It was common for kings to ask for tribute or gifts at such feasts, and in this case, he asked for a horse from each attendee, knowing that the fisherman's protege would have no horses. Perseus, rashly, offered for the king to request any gift he chose, at which Polydectes asked for the head of the mortal gorgon, Medusa. That is why Perseus went after her.
