Did you get a tune? Every stage 2 flash turns that off, and any custom tune should do so as well, as long as the tuner remembers to do it.

If you didn't get a tune with a catless header then A. you'll pop a code, and 2) you're missing out on a lot of power.

By "tune up" do you mean dyno/ECU tune? If so, then yes, that will fix it.

The light is a catalytic converter efficiency light. It measures both before and after the cat in the header. Since you've removed the cat from the header, the light will keep coming back until you get the car tuned.
