Does the word East have to have a period at the end when abbreviated?
yes just like you need to with south, S. ,north, N. and west, W.
Answer I work with wind directions all the time and they are simply abbreviated to E, W, N, NE, SW, ESE etc. Of course, it depends on context (my work involves meteorology so to context is obvious) but if you were writing prose you'd write the wind direction out in full anyway. The short answer is that the full stop is unnecessary, and arises from the US habit of applying them to all abbreviations (like Mr.) whether they actually need them or not.
Is it correct to put a period?
If you are ending a sentence, then yes it would be correct. Unless you want to add dramatic effect to the sentence, then you may want to use a exclamation point (!). Or, if you are asking a question, you will want to use a question mark (?).

An exclamatory sentence is a sentence that demonstrates a sharp or sudden utterance
or a vehement expression of protest or complaint.
In a compound sentence do you use a comma before the word and?
Example: It was hot, humid, and raining.
In the example above, the comma after "humid" is unnecessary but acceptable. The use of the comma before 'and' is called the 'serial comma' or the 'Oxford comma', it's optional. Many people use the serial comma for clarity.
The other use of a comma is to break up a long sentence, and signifies a slight pause.
Example: He hit the ball, dropped the bat, and ran to first base.

Do you need a period after an abbreviation?
Most of the time you do need a period after an abbreviation! Answer It is usual in American English to use a full stop after ALL abbreviations, however, outside the US this is not the case. For instance, Mr and Mrs never take a full stop in British English usage, and often etc doesn't either despite the fact that the "rule" is that when the abbreviation ends in a letter of the original word (as in Mister-Mr) there is ordinarily a full stop (since etc is short for et cetera and the last letter is an "a" not a "c").
What is the proper punctuation to follow Mr and Mrs?
The proper punctuation is a period following each, because each is considered to be an abbreviation, but nowadays no punctuation at all is becoming acceptable.
