What did Octavius decide to do when he learned who had assassinated Caesar?

By the time of Caesar's assassination Octavius' name had changed to Octavian. His name changed when he was adopted by Julius Caesar.

This alliance was made a three-man directorate with dictatorial powers for five years by a law in 43 BC and was renewed for another five years in 37 BC. The triumvirs made war against the forces of the murderers of Caesar and defeated them in the Battle of Philippi in Greece (40 BC). The three men signed the treaty of Brundisium whereby Octavian took charge of the west, March Antony took the east and Lepidus took Africa.

In 36 BC Octavian accused Lepidus of treason and forced him into exile. He ten then turned against Mark Antony and fought a war against him and his ally Cleopatra VII of Egypt.

What has happened to cicero?

After Julius Caesar's assassination, Cicero and Mark Antony became two leading men in Rome. Cicero was the spokesman of the senate and Mark Antony led the supporters of Caesar. Cicero tried to exploit tensions between Octavian (later he was called Augustus) and Mark Antony and delivered a famous series of denunciations against Antony in which he also praised Octavian. He urged the senate to call Mark Antony an enemy of the state. However, is plan to defeat Antony did not work. Mark Antony and Octavian reconciled and allied formed the alliance of the Second Triumvirate (three-man alliance) with Lepidus. In 43 BC a law gave the Triumvirate a five-year term of supreme political authority, making it a three-man directorate.

The Triumvirate began persecuting its rivals. Cicero and his supporters were put on the list of enemies of the state. It was said that Octavian argued for two days against Cicero being added to the list, but Mark Antony wanted him dead. He was the most doggedly pursued man, but many people refused to report seeing him because he was very popular. He was caught at his villa while he was trying to embark on a ship to Greece. He was betrayed by a freedman of his brother. He exposed his neck and throat to the soldiers. He was slayed and his head and hands were cut off and were hanged for display at the forum in Rome. His last words were said to have been, "There is nothing proper about what you are doing, soldier, but do try to kill me properly."

What does Cassius mean when he says Brutus can thank himself for the offending tongue?

The line is "Flatterers! Now, Brutus, thank yourself: This tongue had not offended so to-day, If Cassius might have ruled." in Act V Scene 1. Antony, Octavian, Brutus and Cassius are engaged in the traditional pre-battle shouting match. Antony has just let go with an attack on Brutus and Cassius, calling them flatterers because they sucked up to Caesar while Casca snuck up on him from behind. This is why Cassius says "Flatterers!" Then he turns to speak to Brutus, and says, "This tongue had not offended so today if Cassius might have ruled." "This tongue" is Cassius's tongue and it has, he thinks, offended Antony, so what he is saying is that his tongue would not have offended Antony so much if Cassius had his way. Or possibly it might mean Antony's tongue which has offended Cassius. Either way, what he is talking about is that conversation way back in Act 2 Scene 1 (remember?) where Cassius said "I think it is not meet Mark Antony, so well beloved of Caesar, should outlive Caesar." He means that if Brutus had agreed with Cassius at that point Antony would be dead and would not be around to take or give offence (or, more importantly, to lead an army against them three acts later). Thanks a heap, Brutus. Or in other words, "Now Brutus, thank yourself."
