No, Paul is not responsible for writing the Acts of the Apostles. It was written by Luke, the writer of the Gospel of Luke. In Acts 1:1, Luke refers to the "first book" he had written. He was a physician who was a companion of Paul beginning probably on Paul's second missionary journey. Luke uses the third person "they" in his written history until Acts 16:10 where he begins to use the first person "us," indicating that at some recent point, he had joined Paul on his journey.
Arguably the whole of the Acts of the Apostles is about the apostle Paul, but the second part is certainly about Paul.

Yes, Luke was not one of the 12 apostles. He was a companion of the apostle Paul and the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible.
AnswerThere is no clarity on this. Paul called himself an apostle, but Acts of the Apostles seems reluctant to use this term about Paul. Acts suggests that the twelve disciples became apostles at the Pentacost. The word comes from Greek, to mean a messenger.
The story of Paul can be found in the Acts of the Apostles. It tells the story of Saul (Paul) and how he was converted while traveling to Damascus.
Paul himself, in his epistles, never mentioned his birthplace. The Acts of the Apostles, written some decades later, has Paul say that he was from Tarsus.
The disciples were afraid of him and did not trust him(Acts 9:26). The Jews wanted to kill him (Acts 9:23).
