It seems the first two questions are coding ones, and the second two ("flood fill" and circle drawing) are more thinking ones.

The flood fill color detection one would be fastest with a look up table returning a bitmask of colors contained in the byte, with the Color param also as a bitmask, then the result is just lut[Pixel] & Color.

The circle drawing one only needs you to know basic trig to get from radius and angle (0-360) to (x,y) offset from origin. You could embellish the answer with symmetry and LUTs too, but the problem statement doesn't say anything about efficiency.
