Answer 1

Originally February had all of its days; but back in Romes hay day, Augustus Cesar was given an extra day to the month created in awe of him, August. This extra day was taken from February. The same thing happened with Julius Cesar, another day was taken from February and placed in July.

Answer 2

I'm glad you asked this question, as I've wondered but never bothered to research to find out. Check out the link I've provided below. This link provides the history about how calendars came to be and different types of calendars.

January and February both date from about the time of Rome's founding. They were added to a calendar that had been divided into ten month-like periods whose lengths varied from 20 to 35 or more days. A winter season was not included, so those period lengths are believed to have been intended to reflect growth stages of crops and cattle.

When introduced, January was given 29 days and put at the beginning of the calendar year. February was given 23 days and put at the end. Then, for an undetermined period shortly after Rome's founding, months were said to have begun when a new moon was first sighted. At some later time, month lengths were separated from lunations and again became fixed. At that time, February's original length was extended by five days which gave it a total of 28.

Answer 3

Because there isn't exactly 365 days in a year, it's more like 365 and a quarter days, so every four years, they add an extra day to the end of February.
And are Calendar wasn't the same since the beginning of the Roman calendar.
For instance, October use to be the end of the year, that's why All Saints day is October 31 coincidentally.
