Use of nicknames was popular during the 19th century. As a boy and young man, William Tecumseh Sherman was typically called "Tecumseh" (his given name) and "Cump" (his nickname). During the Civil War, he was called "Uncle Billy" by his troops, although never to his face. Following the Civil War, it was rare for anyone other than immediate family and closest friends to call him anything other than General Sherman, as he was so highly respected by the majority of Americans including a substantial number of former Confederates.

What did William T Sherman do in the Civil War besides his march to the sea?
William T Sherman did the march to Columbia. The march to Columbia isn't as recognized as the march to the sea, but it was also very destructive. These two marches were what you call total war which is were you take things you need and destroy the rest. This was what mostly devastated the south by the end of the war.

What did sherman's strategy of total war include?
Simply to attack the civilian infrastructure that supported the Confederate armies in the field. This involved great destruction of property, but very few casualties, and it undoubtedly shortened the war by months. You can call it official vandalism, but these Southerners were technically traitors, and the raids were justified as punitive. Violence against the person was strictly forbidden by Sherman, and where this happened, it was usually not by his own men, but by various deserters and other vagabonds who came along for the ride. Grant had told Sherman "Make Georgia howl!". He did.
How many troops did the confederates have during the Sherman march?
Very few. Only a small force under General Hardee in Savannah, and they escaped into South Carolina. There were no battles, to speak of, during Sherman's march. It was a new kind of strategy aimed at weakening the infrastructure that supported the Confederate armies. You might call it a war on civilians, though the emphasis was on destruction of property (and liberating of slaves) rather than assaults on the person. Where that occurred, it was usually not by Sherman's troops, but by the lawless 'bummers' who followed the armies, knowing there would be food and plunder in this rich farmland.
