Who did octavian gain sole control of Rome's lands?
Octavian won the Final Civil War of the Roman Republic in 30 BC and became the absolute ruler of the Roman Empire with the First Settlement with the senate which institutionalised his rule in 27 BC. Historians use the name of Augustus to indicate octavian's life from this point on. Augustus was an honorary title (the venerable one) he had the senate bestow on him.
Why did the senate willingly give up this power to Augustus?
The only thing that the senate could even remotely hope to gain was the favor of Augustus. At the time when Octavian/Augustus took over, it was the one who had the military backing who had the power and Augustus had about 44 legions behind him. Then too, the senate at the time of Augustus was nothing more than a fawning, boot licking bunch of self-serving men. Previously they had given so much power and honors to Julius Caesar that they got him killed. Octavian/Augustus having both the military and popular backing could simply have chosen to take over so to speak, but chose instead, to introduce a smooth transition from republic to principate, giving the senate acknowledgement, but in reality holding the power that he won.The only thing that the senate could even remotely hope to gain was the favor of Augustus.

What were the major steps that Octavian took to gain the supportif the army and the people after defeating Antony in 31 bc?
You have to back up a little here. Octavian already had the support of the army and the Roman people before he had the senate declare war. A poll was taken throughout Italy and the people swore to support Octavian. He already had a huge army and the Roman troops that Antony had also went over to Octavian. So Octavian actually had little to do after defeating Antony at Actium except to pay the troops.
Why was Augustus able to gain power from the senate?
Caesar fought a civil war against the forces of the senate, which opposed him, in the Great Roman Civil War, also known as Caesar's Civil War. After defeating these forces in the Battle of Pharsalus he replaced the senators who had died in that battle with his supporters. He also increased the size of the senate from 600 to 900 and filled the new posts with his supporters. Therefore, he gained control over the senate. However, there were still senators who were opposed to him and eventually some of them assassinated him. More civil wars followed the death of Caesar and the last of one was a fight over who was to become the sole ruler of Rome between Octavian and Marc Antony. Octavian won and gained control of the legions of the Roman army, becoming the most powerful man. The senate could not challenge this power and reached two compromises (the First and Second Settlement) with Augustus (this is the name which is used for Octavian when he became the first roman emperor) which institutionalised his absolute rule, and turned the senate into an instrument of his power, while it giving a pretence that the senate was still an important political body. A key difference between the Octavian/Augustus' relationship with the senate and that of Caesar was that Augustus had become even more powerful than Caesar had been. After Caesar's assassination Octavian, Marc Antony and Lepidus, the three leading Caesarians (supporters of Caesar) formed the Second Triumvirate (three-man alliance) which fought the forces which had been assembled by the assassins of Caesar. The triumvirate won and this eliminated the last military resistance to the Caesarians. When Octavian defeated Marc Antony in the last power struggle, he was the unopposed leader of the army.
