How and why did octavian take over the second triumvirtate?
Octavian did not take over the second triumvirate. However he did take advantage of his opportunities and usurped Lepidus, thereby gaining two thirds of the territory and authority. Antony was still a triumvir and had the authority in the east. Octavian did not have supreme power until he won the civil war with Antony.

What would have happened to Cleopatra VII if she did not 'kill herself'?
We don't know for certain. Cleopatra presented a problem for Octavian. Although the Roman people were against Cleopatra and hated her for her relationship with Antony, there was always the possibility that they would feel sorry for her if she were to appear in Octavian's triumph (the way they felt sorry for Cleopatra's sister in Caesar's triumph) and Octavian did not want to take the chance of having to show her clemency. So, if Cleo did not kill herself, she would first be humiliated in Octavian's triumph in Rome, and then either killed or sent into exile, depending on the mood of the people, which Octavian had to gage very carefully.We don't know for certain.

How did Octavian take power from Marc Antony?
Octavian took power from Marc Antony because Antony divorced Octovia for Cleopatra and Octavian saw it as an insult. So Octavian set war on Antony but he escaped back to Egypt with Cleopatra. There the two committed suicide so they wouldn't be taken as prisoner by Octavian. Octavian then became Rome's sole rule.

What was Julius Caesar's person relationship with Marc and and Octavion like?
Octavian was Julius caesars great nephew. As such he has some contact with the boy as he grew and octavian was enamoured of his uncle. Upon his death, Julius Caesars will named Octavian as his now adopted son and heir. Octavia took this to mean the heir to the throne and set about consolidating his position both in the senate and on the battle ground. Marc Anthony was Julius right hand man, war comrade, confidant and friend. Marc Anthony was a self assured man who liked To fight but was not a good diplomat or politician. Julius Caesar left Marc Anthony in Rome as " leader" in the senate but due to the building hatred between Pompey and Caesar, the resultant civil war saw Pompey killed and Julius declared dictator for 10 years. After Julius Caesars assassination , Anthony was declared executor of his will and problems arose between him and Octavian. The resultant war between those two was a draw with a 3 way rule being established between Octavian, Marc Anthony and Lepidus. To bridge the difficulties Marc Anthony married Octavia sister Octavian, but when he went east he fell under the spell of cleopatra( just as Julius Caesar had done) and abandoned his wife. It all finally came to head at the battle of actium where marc Anthony and cleopatra were defeated by Octavian. Marc Anthony committed suicide first. Once cleopatra knew what Octavian was to do with her ( take her back to Rome as. A prisoner) she also committed suicide.
