What is the set of whole numbers and their additive inverses called?
The set of integers.
Are two integers that are opposite also called additive inverses.?
Yes. Those would be numbers such as 5 and -5, which only have opposite signs - they are called additive inverses (of one another).
What are numbers that look the same but have different signs called?
Mutual negatives or additive inverses.
What is 4 and -4 called?

What contexts allows negative numbers?
Closure of the set of numbers under subtraction or, equivalently, the existence of additive inverses.
What is the definition of additive inverses?
A pair of numbers whose sum is zero. The additive inverse of 10 is -10 because 10+(-10) = 0.
