Dear student
 
Please ask only one question in one thread.
 
The reason a carbon atom cannot bond with four electrons with another carbon is due to the carbon electron orbitals. Since it has a s and 3 p orbitals, it must create one sigma and at most 2 pi bonds with another carbon. There's no spatial conditions for a 3rd pi bond, so it will have to be another sigma.
