For what reasons did many of Elizabeths 1sts advisers want ro persuade Elizabeth to execute Mary Queen of Scots?

Elizabeth was a Protestant Queen, making England a Protestant country, whereas Mary was a devout Catholic. Although there were Protestants in England at the time, there were also many Catholics who supported Mary as Queen. Since from the Catholic viewpoint Henry VIII and Catherine of Argon's marriage was never annulled. That would have made Elizabeth, Anne Boleyn's child, illegitimate, since at the time of her conception, Catherine was not dead and still the wife of Henry. She could have been considered a bastard by many people. Mary, Queen of Scots, would have been her closest relative, making her the biggest threat to Elizabeth's throne. In order to protect it, she had Mary beheaded. Elizabeth later claimed the execution papers were to only make Mary nervous so she would back off. Any way, the order was carried out, even if it wasn't supposed to be.

Why shouldn't Elizabeth 1 execute Mary?
Assuming you mean Mary, Queen of Scots, and not Mary Tudor (Elizabeth's half-sister), Elizabeth was reluctant to have Mary QS executed largely because, like Elizabeth, she was an anointed queen, and related to Elizabeth. She, Mary, was offered forgiveness and life, but she continued to be a part of several plots to assassinate Elizabeth. Ultimately Elizabeth had no choice and after many years and much vacillation she signed Mary's death warrant.
What does it mean to be Queen Elizabeth the second?
I am not entirely sure if you are enquiring about the meaning of being queen, or the meaning of being the 2nd Elizabeth. I will address both issues briefly. Queen Elizabeth II is the ceremonial ruler of England and the British Commonwealth (she is also the official head of state of several countries including Canada and Australia). As such, she gives her approval to laws that are passed by the British Parliament (in other countries, a Governor General does that on her behalf). But her approval is automatic. She never vetoes anything. (It has been said that even if Parliament ordered the execution of the queen, she would still be obligated to give royal assent to her own execution - not that anyone actually wishes to execute her; she is very well liked.) As for being Queen Elizabeth II, that only means that there used to be a queen Elizabeth I, so the current queen is the second British monarch to be named Elizabeth.
