Is this tool for 8 speed bikes.

Yes. All modern bicycle chains have 1/2" spacing, or pitch, between pins. This tool will work on an 8-speed chain.

This gauge has two measurements, 0.5 and 0.75, I have a 7 speed mountain bike. Which measurement should use for when it is time to get a new chain?

My understanding is that a 7-speed drivetrain can tolerate much more wear than newer 11- and 10-speed. My understanding is that 11-speed needs 0.5%, 10-speed is 0.75%. I would personally also use 0.75% for 9-speed, although I have gone farther to 1% without trouble in the past. But for a 7-speed chain you can certainly go to 1% wear before changing a chain. I'm sure there are chain wear tools out there that measure the larger 1% wear than this one. But if you use this one for a 7-speed chain, in my opinion you can consider the 0.75% level an early warning sign to replace the chain.

Where is this Park Tool made?

The package says USA. Based on what I learned from my bike mechanic, this is not the best choice. He showed me something that cost around $20 and just drops in and seems a little better. A chain gauge by ProGold seems like the one he has.

Alright, I must of missed something! Just what in tarnation does the size of a man's... cassette have todo with the condition of his chain?

The size of your cassette has nothing to do with the chain condition. Size doesn't matter, but using a 11X21 cassette would make you more manly! In this case the smaller the cassette the more manly ..... as opposed to the other thing .....
