King Tut's pyramid didn't have a name, it wasn't finished by the time he died.
King Tut's final resting place was a tomb that was suposed to be built for a noble. He didn't have a pyramid because the Egytain stopped making because people stole the gold and rich things from it. He was buried in the valley of kings.
The Eighteenth Dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun didn't have a pyramid. The age of pyramids was long past when he was buried in an underground tomb in what is known as The Valley of The Kings around 1323 BCE. For comparison, the Great Pyramid at Giza, probably the tomb of a Fourth Dynasty Pharaoh named Khufu, is thought to have been completed about 2560 BCE, over a thousand years earlier.
There were two problems with the pyramids: they required an enormous workforce to build, which had to be fed, clothed, housed and paid (they were not built by slaves); and as sanctuaries for the bodies of the Pharaohs they were complete failures, as all the pyramids were broken into and robbed, probably not long after the death of the king and possibly by some of the people who buried him, who knew where he was and how much loot had been buried with him.
This doesn't mean that Pharaohs buried in The Valley of The Kings fared much better. Most of their tombs were plundered also. The reason King Tutankhamun's tomb seems to have escaped is because there was a later tomb dug out just above it. The detritus from that tomb buried Tut's tomb to a point where the grave robbers apparently couldn't find it. In fact, there was evidence of at least one early attempt at robbing the tomb that failed to get at the really valuable stuff, after which the tomb was buried and lost for over 3000 years until Howard Carter stumbled over it in 1922.

Tutankhamun became Pharaoh in 1333 BC. He was only 10 years old when he became a "boy King".
"King Tut's original name was Tutankhaten which means 'the living image of Aten". After the death of his unpopular father, he changed his name to Tutankhamun which means 'the living image of Amun". (Quoted from: historyforkids.net/tutankhamun.html)
King Tut's reign ended in 1323 BC. Some people say he died from an infection in his leg. But no one can say for sure how he died.
What happened when King Tutankhamun was married to his step sister?
Yes he was. He was married to Ahkensenpaaten the third oldest daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. King tut was the sun of Akhenaten and his mother was not Nefertiti. Scientists are unsure who his mother really was, but they think it was Akhenaten's minor wife Kiya.
Who were Tutankhamun's friends?
He almost certainly did: rivals for the throne and priests of the god Aten would probably top the list. His father had forbidden the worship of gods other than Aten; he overturned that and elevated the god Amun back to his prior place at the top of the heap.

Does someone help the king make big decisions?
That depends on the king.
Most kings, historical and modern, have had many advisors. How much they listened to them varied considerably, though most modern kings are essentially figureheads so it's not so much a matter of them having "help" making big decisions as having the big decisions made entirely by an elected government, with the king simply rubber-stamping the decisions of government (if the constitution requires even that).
archeologists and scientists don't really know what king tut's last name was or if egyptians even had last names for that matter.
