Answer 1

When they tell you to choose a book of your reading level, they mean 8th grade for an 8th grader.  Look up www.bookadventure.com  they have lists of books by grade level.  You can also look up acceleratedreader.com who also has lists of books by grade level.  Or ask the public library for books on the eighth grade level, they usually can find something appropriate for you.

Keep in mind that novels have not been written "on grade level", although they do have a target audience.  Their actual difficulty level might be lower or higher.   They will generally be listed as within "6th-9th" for example or "young adult" meaning like junior high on up.

Good luck!
