**Q2:** Iff $k=6\cdot(n^2+m^2)$. Here is a tiling with $k=30$, $n=1$ and $m=2$. ![$k=30$.][1] It is obvious if the tiling is vertex-to-vertex. If the tiling is not vertex-to-vertex, you get a closed geodesic formed by overlaping sides. Then you can shift squares on one side of the geodesic to make the tiling "more vertex-to-vertex". Repeating this operation you can make the tiling to be vertex-to-vertex. [1]: http://www.math.psu.edu/petrunin/wiki/2-1.png
