Mercury orbits the Sun in @88 Earth days. So if you divided 365 days in a year by 88 the result comes to about @ 4 Earth days. A decade is 10 years so multiply 10 by 4 and you get @ 40 days or as you say 41 times.

Do planets change position during each season and when do they change for each season?

Yes, planets do change position during each season. The position of planets changes due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, causing different planets to be visible at different times of the year. The change in position of planets varies depending on the planet and the season.
