Ellie-What is her breed and why is she attacking??

Hi
We were told Ellie was a mini lop when we bought her. Obviously, this is not the case. She is close to six months. What breed is she really?

In the last month she has gotten very mean, biting, growling, attacking faces/hands, etc. We are going to have her fixed to see if this will help, but any suggestions would be helpful as our next option will be to give her away, which we are loathe to do, but she attacked, bit, and scratched my daughter's face when she was changing her litter box. Will fixing her help this?? Please give us hope!
