1. Bad example. The 'send one monster to the drop' is part of the cost. As soon as you declare Azi Dahaka's call, you pay the cost and the monster is moved. Unless your opponent is removing something else, it's a useless move.

2. You can counter an opponent's counter...provided you have not used a Counter ability previously in the same chain. So your example works.

An example that doesn't work is me casting 'Holy Grail ' to block an attack, using Counter to cast it. My opponent responds with Secret Sword, Star Crusher, using their counter, and me responding with Shield of Achilles to reduce the damage by Star Crusher. I had already used a counter from Holy Grail, hence I can no longer use Counter for that chain.
