It was stated by Minato, that the move without the preecog abilities of sharingan makes him open to a counter. The speed is too much for nonsharingan users to handle, Kakashi stated himself that without sharingan the technique is useless.
They are the same Jutsu. Chidori got the nickname Raikiri when it was used to cut lightning.
OT: Depends on the definition. With his experience and skill, he can use Raikiri well enough; however, in ultimately equal showdowns or ones against superior foes he'd basically be done for.
Yes, kid kakashi killed 17 clones of mahiru with a single chidori, and he would have killed the original too but by then mahiru had gotten used to his speed since the info from the clones goes back to the original

Sharingan is only needed when kakashi attacks head on and the opponent can attack back, it is not needed

Nope, it was already stated that Chidori is an incomplete jutsu without the Sharingan. Raikiri has the same weakness since it's only a stronger form of Chidori with no change in who it's used to attack.
Without the Sharingan Kakashi is still jounin level so no he's not that bad but his Chidori is stated to be an incomplete jutsu without the Sharingan to see the opponent's counter attack. Sasuke also need the Sharingan to use it, he needed it to avoid Gaara's counter attack in part 1 and Lee commented that he could never attack like that even if he was capable to because he doesn't have the "eyes" for it.
Nope, he would get a tunnel vision when attacking with it in the high speed required so he can't see counter attacks and need the Sharingan to do so. Look at Lee commenting on Sasuke using it
