Augustus was respectful of the senate despite his power because he was much smarter politically than his uncle/father Julius. He learned from Caesar's assassination, which was caused by Caesar's ignoring the senate and actually insulting it. He also knew that his form a government was a change and change came slowly to the old men of the senate. One of his sayings was "make haste slowly".
The first emperor, Augustus, inherited a Senate whose membership had been increased to 900 senators by his adoptive father, Julius Caesar. Augustus sought to reduce the size of the Senate, and did so through three revisions to the list of senators.

Yes
No, he made it his partner.
The Senate ruled on...the next to rule was Augustus
octavian
Caesar Augustus was the first emperor of Rome. Before him, Rome was ruled by the Senate. However, the Senate had less and less power in the waning days of the Republic. Before Caesar Augustus became emperor in 27 BC, he was part of a triumvirate with M. Lepidus and M. Antonius. The Senate was still nominally leading Rome. Before that Julius Caesar held a lot of power before his assassination in 44 BC. But again, supposedly the Senate was still leading Rome.
Augustus Caesar and Octavius Caesar was the same person. His birth name was Gaius Octavius, which he then altered to Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus in 45 BC when he was posthumously adopted by Julius Caesar. After he defeated Mark Antony (Marcus Antonius) in the Battle of Actium in 27 BC, he was titled 'Augustus Caesar' (Most honoured Caesar) by the Senate.

In reality, Caesar Augustus was the supreme ruler of the Roman empire and he reported to no one. Yes he conferred with the Roman senate, however that was just a formality.

Augustus Caesar was a good emperor. He did a lot of good things for Rome, although the Senate believed he overused his power. Therefore the Senate assassinated Casear. felicior Augusto, melior Traiano ("[be] luckier than Augustus and better than Trajan").

It was a power-sharing consortium between Augustus and the Senate - the assemblies of the citizens were done away with. The Senate rules, while Augustus pulled strings in the background through his powers of tribune of the plebs, proconsul, and control of the army.
The Roman general and leader, Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus, was known as Augustus. After winning the last civil war or the republic and transforming both the city of Rome and the government, the senate awarded him the title Augustus. This honor was given to him in 27 BC and from that time on he was known as Augustus or Augustus Caesar.
