Answer

The two dots are called a trema.

An Umlaut pronounced UM-Lout is the German name for it. This can be typed by pressing and holding the alt button then the U key on your keyboard. Then type the e and it should put a unlaut above the E. ë like so.

Alt + U, then e.

For a "U" press alt+154 or 0220

The spelling is correct, you would describe this letter as "e-umlaut".

These are called diacritical marks and are used to describe the sound associated with certain letters.

Note: Depending on what program you are using, there are multiple ways to display these special characters. Check with the "help" or search for "display special characters + progam name" to determine the appropriate method (example: ëdisplays e-umlaut in HTML). Also, check ASCII character map or Extended ASCII characters.
