Solution

5)yes sampling error has occured as 37% of 1247 = 461.39. But as 1 vote is casted by a single person so how can 0.39 comes then.

so the error would be 0.39

as a matter of fact when votes are counted or represented in percentage form, the votes should be a whole number not a number with decimals
