Answer 1

and this is Question & Answer section!!!
Besides, your code is not very elegant. Use a loop to shorten your code.

Answer 2

import turtle

my_octagon=turtle.Turtle()
i = 0
while i < 8:
my_octagon.forward(90)
my_octagon.left(45)
i += 1

Answer 3

@Tim your code is fine. :)
You could use a for loop instead of while loop, because you don't need the i inside the loop. And the declaration my_octagon is not necessarily when you just want to draw one figure.

octagon:
import turtle

for i in range(8):
turtle.forward(100)
turtle.left(45)

square:
import turtle

for i in range(4):
turtle.forward(100)
turtle.left(90)
