I agree with your answers to the first 4 questions.
for the last:
Each of the 10 players plays against the other 9.
So that is 90
But...
it includes A vs B and B vs A, which is the same game, so we divide the above by 2
so there are 45 games.
Or ... short-cut way
choose pairs of 2's from 10
= C(10,2) = 45
