Why do the subtitles say "tetsusaiga" for "tessaiga"?

I've been watching Inuyasha with subtitles and in episode 6 and 7, Inuyasha fights with his brother Sesshomaru about a sword. The English subtitle says "Tetsusaiga" but they're clearly saying "てっさいが". Why are they subtitling it in this way?

What qualifies one as a Dai-Yokai?

In Inuyasha, there seems to be a higher class of Yokai, where Inuyasha's father belonged, called "Dai-Yokai" (or "Great Yokai"). What qualifies you (the average Yokai) to be a Dai-Yokai? Are you born like it? Do you earn the status somehow?

Why Is Sesshoumaru a full youkai?

Sesshoumaru is Inuyasha's brother, but he is a full youkai, while Inuyasha is half human, half youkai. Why this happened? Don't they have the same mother and father? Wasn't he supposed to be half youkai too?
