Why E sharp and not just F?

The note E sharp exists in the key, and scale, of F sharp major - as there are not two consecutive notes in a scale based upon the same letter name. And - in the days before even-tempered scales, the frequencies of the note F and the note E sharp would be different, as altering a note to its sharp equivalent would have involved a slightly different multiplier in terms of changing the frequency level, in Hertz, of the note preceding it - and therefore, the notes themselves would in fact sound slightly different.

What is key of e?

The key of 'E' major is the 5th key in the circle of 5ths, meaning it would have 4 sharps. F sharp, C sharp, G sharp and D sharp. Obviously since it is an E major scale, it starts on E, then F sharp, G sharp, A, B, C sharp, D sharp and E again. If you are talking about 'E' minor, the relative major is G, which has 1 sharp: F sharp. You would start an 'E' minor natural scale once again on 'E', then go to F sharp, g, a, b, c, d and e.
