No not all shapes tessellate.
For any polygon, there will be other shapes such that, together, they can tessellate.
I believe that regular shapes will only tessellate if the sum of their internal angles is a multiple of 180.
Yes it does tessellate. * * * * * That is simply not true. No polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate with identical shapes.
If their shapes are suitably matched they can tessellate together.

yes, most regular shapes can tessellate :)
Quadrilaterals (4 sides) will tessellate because thier interior angles add up to 360 degrees.
yess

Yes all 4 sided quadrilaterals will tessellate

Some 3D shapes will tessellate as for example a brick wall
Triangles.
An octagon cannot tessellate because when you put about 4 together, there are gaps in between the shapes, which is not allowed in a tessellation. When you put together 5 octagon's, some of them are overlapping and there still are gaps. Therefore, an octagon cant tessellate.
