Is the peace sign a devil worshipping sign?
The pace sign is not used in devil worship. It is used in antiwar protests and on bongs. However it looks exactly like a cross of Nero in a circle.

It is said st Peter was crucified on such a cross.
Do angels wear crosses?
Let me just say this; the cross which was used by the Romans to crucify anyone who broke their law, was also used to crucify Jesus Christ because He was breaking the laws of human beings who were sinners just like the rest of us. The cross that people wear is supposed to be a symbol that Jesus loved each and every one of us so much that He would bear the pain of all our past, present, and future sins on the cross that the Romans crafted out of an ordinary tree. The only humans that would know if God's angels wear crosses would be the humans that have had an angel appear to them. Even then, they may not be able to make out details. This question can be answered only if there was supernatural evidence of angels wearing this apparel. I personally doubt that they wear crosses because Jesus' work on the cross was the ultimate sacrifice so that our sins would be forgiven and wiped off a record of death. That prophecy was fulfilled and what He did on the cross at that time still benefits all of His followers now. If an angel ever appeared to you, that might give you the best information about whether angels wore crosses or not.
Why did they use a cross to crucify Jesus and not a square etc?
The cross was a common method of execution by the Romans for criminals during that time.

It also carried symbolic significance in terms of the message of Jesus' sacrifice and redemption.
