The questions are specifically about the book "All Quiet on the Western Front", which I believe is about WW2. It's historical fiction, so you could only really answer these questions if you had read that novel.
I'd love to help but I unfortunately haven't read the book. The most I can suggest is to consider the relationship between characters and the emotions that must be running through their heads, based on the things that've happened to them so far. Consider how you may feel or react to things if you were in their shoes.

It was about World War 1 from the perspective of German soldiers.
1. Kemmerich and Paul went to school together and knew each other prior to the loss of their innocence due to the horrors of the war. The loss of Kemmerich meant that Paul was one step further from the person he once was and is one step closer to being a faceless soldier.
2. Kemmerich understands that Muller needs the boots, and that this necessity overshadows the tragedy of his death. He has come to accept that life has become so cheap in the war that what becomes important to the soldiers is not who dies, but who gets what from the dead.
3. (Guess) Probably the feeling of emptiness associated with losing one of his closest friends.
I haven't read the book in two years, so my answers might not be totally correct. Use them to help you, but looking back on my notes from sophomore year, you might want to check Chapters 2 and 3.
Sorry that this is probably too late.
