Plants are heliotropic, that is they have the ability to move in order to maximize the amount of solar radiation that they absorb - think of it as moving solar panels.

What would be the noon-time altitude of the sun in Champaign Illinois on the Autumnel equinox be if the earths tilt was at 40 degrees?

At the autumnal equinox, the Sun is directly over the equator, so the Earth's axial tilt would be an irrelevant data point. Champaign-Urbana, IL is at 40 degrees 7 minutes north latitude, so the "local apparent noon" elevation of the Sun would be 49 degrees 53 minutes. If you were asking this question about the summer solstice, then the Earth's axial tilt would become relevant. If this was 40 degrees, then the Sun would be essentially directly overhead at noon.

What would a compess point to if you were at the north pole?

If you are at the North pole, the north point of the magnetic needle in the compass will tilt a little downwards, and the south pole of the compass needle will tilt upwards. If you hold the compass in a direction vertically perpendicular to the surface of the Earth, the needle will align itself like the earth's magnetic field, as if it were a huge bar magnet, the north part of the needle facing upwards.
