An [equilateral] triangle, square and hexagon are the only regular polygons which, by themselves, will tile a surface.
If it's interior angle is a factor of 360 then it will tessellate such as a square, a regular hexagon and an equilateral triangle.
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
Yes it can tile. * * * * * No, they cannot.
This is like asking "why is pi 3.14 plus a bit"? It just is. Hexagons tile because they do.

A regular hexagon will tessellate.

The answer depends on the dimensions used for 8x8. For example, an 8 inch x 8 inch tile will have a different area to an 8 cm x 8 cm tile.
Yes.

A hexagon has six, a square has four.
Neither a square nor a hexagon are rigid so the question is misguided. Any square can be "squashed" into a rhombus and a hexagon into an irregular hexagon. The only rigid polygon is a triangle.
2 square feet per tile.
