While it is possible for a pyramid to have a square bases, you should not assume that all pyramids have square bases. Try to picture a triangular pyramid in your head, hopefully you can see that it is possible, and this would answer your question.
Depends on the pyramid. A pyramid with a square (or quadrilateral) base would indeed have 8 edges, but a pyramid can have any other polygon as a base.Depends on the pyramid.

Yes, the Great Pyramid of Giza is a square pyramid. From a birds eye view, you could see that the bottom is in the shape of a square. See: http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/pyramids.html
If side refers to 'face', then the pyramid would be a quadrilateral pyramid with 8 edges. If side refers to the base of the pyramid, it would be a pentagonal pyramid with 10 edges.
