I think you said these questions are springing up in your mind as you read some chemistry books as a hobby.
Maybe you could enrol on some sort of course or follow some introductory courses (or follow the Kan Academy videos eddie mentioned), and then it may start to fall into place

Because it increases the stability of the system on a macro scale... Take for example CO... oxygen does need to donate a pair of electrons to carbon... oxygen is already stable... but carbon is not... so even though at atomic level there might be stability for one atom but at macro level, or system level there is still instability... so if oxygen donates one pAIR of elec to carbon then the overall stability of the system raises...
