Tech Support can be accessed trough the EA Help. There is a section on the website where you can get help about their products or get in touch with a technician.
Once you are on the website, click the platform you use your game and choose the topics. Login with your username and password and Live Chat will be available and that’s it. I have previously used this with Battlefield due to a code-redemption error and it was fixed by the technician.

Origin Helper tool is a component that’s installed with the Origin client. In some cases when you purchase games through the client, this Helper Tool provides fast and secure communication with Origin Servers. Without it, games like The Sims won’t be available for activation and purchasing. That’s why, you don’t need to touch it in any way. Leave it as it is with Origin to have everything working normally.
I forgot my security question on Origin and I can't change my name. Can you set a new password for me and send it on my e-mail? I can also send you screens when I create an account.

You are the only one who can gain access to the account. If you have a phone already set up, then the recovery should be easy. However, it's necessary to get in touch with Origin Support. They will send verification codes to the number attached to the account, and you will be able to assign a new password or question.
When I started up Origin it asks for permission to install a new helper tool. And then it just doesn't work, because I have no idea what this means and what toll is it, can't find it anywhere.

The Helper Tool is a component of Origin client. If you can’t install it properly, then remove Origin completely and reboot the PC. Before rebooting, check the Origin installation folders and delete everything you see. After this procedure, download a new client from the official website and launch it as Administrator. Reboot the PC again and it should work normally.
Every time I try to connect to a Battlefield 3 server I get the same error that I could not join the server.

Usually, firewall is guilty for errors like the one you're having. It is also possible that the lag is too big and you are kicked out in the connection phase. Use the filter system in Battlefield 3 and choose servers that are near to your location and you will not experience such issues. Firewall needs to be disabled or configured to allow the game to communicate with servers.
