A pentagram has five points or vertices.
The correct term for a "star shape" would be a pentagram, for 5 pointed ones, hexagram for 6, and etc etc. I suppose it was nicknamed the "star" because of its points that streak out similar to a star.
Pentagon is a five-sided two-dimensional geometric figure. A pentagram or pentacle is a regular five-pointed star in which the lines from the points are continued to another point, enclosing a pentagon.

This depends on what you mean by witch-star. Different Witches use different stars, or none at all. The Pentagram (the symbol addopted by Wiccans and other Pagan Witches) has five points (usually pointed in an upright position, in most cases) with an encircling. The Faery Star (a star used in many magical traditions) has seven points. The Six Point Star (as seen in Judaism) is also used by some Wiccans, Kabbbalists, and Ceremonial magicians. Depending on which tradition or custom the Witch is affiliated with, will determine which star is most evident within their tradition. For a Wiccan Witch, this would be the Pentagram.
