 The first drop-down selection list is where you set the default font
 family, i.e. the family that LyX should use as the basic family for 
 the whole document.  Now that you have told LyX what the default family
 should be (sans serif), you need to go the the Sans Serif drop-down
 list and tell it to use Helvetica as the specific sans serif font-face
 (which you already set to be used for everything).

 This will change the onscreen LyX font to Helvetica, as well as the
 typeset output.  

Just for the record: it will change the onscreen LyX (GUI) font to
sans serif which, depending on the settings in ExtrasPreferences
could be Helvetica or a better choice (e.g. DejaVu Sans).

The Lyx GUI (i.e., the fonts selection widgets) only provides a limited set of 
the available tex fonts. This is so because the fonts packages differ very 
much, so every one needs to be treated differently.

However, you can load any available font via document  Settings  Preamble. 
Just set the sans serif font to Default and inset the necessary command to 
the preamble (see the documentation of your desired font for the actual 
command).

Yes. Read Help  User Guide  3.7.2. You need to set a different Serif

This will solve your KOMA-Script problems because KOMA will typeset the 
headings in the sans serif of your choice, which is specified as Helvetica.  It 
will then typeset the body text according to the default font family, which you 
have specified as sans serif--Helvetica.

Change the font of your document to e.g. the latin modern fonts (as I
