Why did iago want cassio to ask Desdemona for help in restoring Othello's faith in cassio?
If Desdemona asked a favour on Cassio's behalf, it would look to Othello like she was doing it out of an improper love for Cassio. The harder she argues, the more suspicious it seems to Othello.
How does Iago get back in Othello's good graces?
Iago tells Cassio that he must persuade Othello to reinstate him. He says "the general's wife is now our general" and so the best way to persuade Othello is to get Desdemona to plead on Cassio's behalf. Since Iago has also told Othello that Desdemona and Cassio are having an affair, the harder Desdemona pleads, the worse it is going to look for both her and Cassio.
What finally convinces Othello that Cassio and Desdemona are having an affair?
When Iago tells Othello Cassio slept with her.
How does Iago cast aside suspicion of his own part in the plot to kill Cassio?
Othello was just out of earshot when Iago talks to Cassio. He has told Othello that he is talking to Cassio about Desdemona but he is really talking about the woman that Cassio is really having an affair with, Bianca. In 'Othello' Iago tricks Othello by planting Desdemona's handkerchief in Cassio's room.
Who does Iago tell Cassio to confer with about finding forgiveness from Othello after his brawl in the street?
Desdemona. Iago says that Desdemona is the most influential person with Othello, so Cassio should get her to plead on his behalf. This sounds reasonable, except that Iago has suggested that Cassio and Desdemona are having an affair, and this will heighten Othello's suspicions.

How will Iago's advice to Cassio work in Iago's favor?
Iago advises Cassio to ask Desdemona to plead on his behalf. This will help Iago poison Othello's mind, as Desdemona will appear to be doing so out of her (illicit) love for Cassio.
What convinces Othello that cassio is talking about Desdemona when cassio is laughing as iago asks him about the girl he is seeing?
Primarily the fact that Iago has suggested to him that that is what is being talked about. By this point, Iago has got Othello into such a state he cannot interpret anything Cassio or Desdemona does as being innocent.
Circumstances set for Othello by Iago combine to defeat Othello?
Iago sets out to trap Othello by several means. He persuades Desdemona to plead for Cassio and persuades Othello that Desdemona pleading for Cassio proves she is in love with him. He steals the handkerchief, persuades Othello that she has given it away to Cassio, then gives it to Cassio himself. He gets lucky as Cassio gives it to Bianca and she returns it in Othello's sight. He talks to Cassio about Bianca, telling Othello who can see (but not hear) that he is talking about Desdemona. All of this circumstantial evidence bolsters the outright lies that Iago tells about Cassio admitting to having an affair with Desdemona.
What does Othello want?
Iago brings Othello his handkerchief that Othello has given Desdemona and tells him it was in Cassio's house.
