I am a little confused on the Tanzanite name. I believe that Tanzanite has blue/blue/pink colors. If someone is selling me a "yellow tanzanite", is it more properly called Zoisite?

They are all zoisites. Tanzanite is a tradename. So from gemological perspective all are Zoisites.
Some call Tanzanites in other colors fancy tanzanites.
