Does it matter if a 30A dryer is plugged into a 30A outlet through a 50A pigtail?

- fed through a 50 amp outlet on a pigtail that has a 30 Amp plug
- plugged into a 30 Amp outlet
- on a circuit protected by a 30 Amp breaker
No worries!
It is wise to place an over-current device (fuses or circuit breakers) in your pigtail, though.
-EDIT- Only if it's a 50A outlet. If you have 50A wiring on a 30A breaker you are quite safe.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Is it good to have an octopus connection?
Generally, no. We usually try to avoid having a lot of things plugged into one outlet, which is the usual meaning of "octopus connection" when we talk about things electrical. If we get a lot of stuff plugged into one outlet or a single outlet strip, we could approach (or exceed) the current rating on the outlet and end up tripping a circuit breaker. Less things plugged in is better.

It doesn't matter either way. I personally keep mine plugged in when I don't need to bring it anywhere. When you have it plugged, make sure the whole charger is unplugged from the outlet so it isn't still sucking up energy even when the laptop isn't plugged in.
