No! The eye of the octopus is a highly adaptive trait and better than the human eye because the nerves that go to the brain are not in the way of the retina as is the case in humans, A vestigial trait us a trait that is not used for it original purpose, such as the tail bone in humans.

Is it rare to have a dad with blue and a mom with brown and yours be blue?

Blue eyes are known to be a recessive genetic trait, or a trait that is not commonly found. Because your dad has blue eyes, it means that he also has the "blue eye" trait in his gene. An offspring (you in this case) can get that same "blue eye" trait as well as traits from your mom. Although it is more common to get other dominant trait, such as brown, you got blue. I wouldn't say it is rare but it is definitely uncommon.
