How many times is Othello called 'Moor' by Iago in act one?
Eight times, and once he calls Othello "his Moorship", a play on "His Worship". He also uses the word to talk about all African people: "These Moors are changeable in their wills." But it's not as if other people don't call Othello "the Moor". Brabantio calls him that four times, and Roderigo twice. It is also used by those who are kindly disposed to him, including his own wife Desdemona twice and the Senator who calls him "valiant Moor" and later "brave Moor".
Why does Bianca appear in Othello?

What is Othellos tragic flaw?
Othello's tragic flaw would most likely be his jealousy. This was brought on by simple persuasion by the character Iago. Even though Iago used extreme manipulation to get Othello to be jealous, Iago did not really have to try very hard to get Othello in a jealous state of mind. Othello was blinded by his jealousy which led him down a path of constant questioning of his wife and his friend/officer, Cassio. Throughout the play we see Othello sink deeper and deeper into a cloud of doubt which eventually leads him to kill not only his wife but also himself. So it can be said that Othello's jealousy and inability to see past it remains the reason for his downfall. An alternative interpretation, which if memory serves me was first suggested by James Joyce, is that Othello's tragic flaw was loss of faith in life, and not jealousy. Othello was clearly not a jealous man, as evidenced by the difficulty Iago had in convincing him of Desdemona's unfaithfulness - something Othello would never have dreamed of. The tragedy was that he allowed lies to undermine his faith in life - his entire world view. In doing so, he destroyed that which he loved most.

Is Othello's real problem his own jealousy?
Do you mean to ask if there's literally a green-eyed monster in Othello? If that's what you're asking, then no. The "green-eyed monster" refers to the popular saying which says a persons eyes "turn green" when filled with the feeling of jealousy. One of the main themes in Othello is jealousy, along with deceit and betrayal. There is no physical green-eyed monster in Othello. I don't know what you where expecting but the answer is simply an emotion, jealousy used in the term as " i see the green eyed monster" green being a negative colour to other people

What did barbantio think Othello did to get his daughter to marry him?
Brabantio thought that Othello had used magic to get Desdemona to marry him. This was based on the highly racist assumptions that a) Othello was so ugly that no woman could possibly love him without some love potion, and b) Othello was from some weird foreign background where people probably used love potions all the time.
