Vecna is male. The character originated in the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game and is portrayed as male in both the game's lore and in the Netflix series Stranger Things.
Every official source going all the way back to his creation refers to Vecna as male.
Vecna (Henry Creel) turned evil due to a combination of his innate psychopathic, nihilistic worldview, his powers making him feel superior, and his subsequent corruption by the Mind Flayer after being banished to the Upside Down, leading him to hate humanity and seek destruction as an escape from a world he found meaningless. He felt humanity's life cycle was a "mindless play" and sought power and freedom through annihilation, twisting love into a tool for manipulation.

There's no single "saddest" death, as it's subjective, but Eddie Munson, Bob Newby, and Alexei (Smirnoff) are consistently cited as the most heartbreaking due to their heroism, innocence, or tragic circumstances, with fans often debating Eddie's heroic sacrifice vs. Bob's pure-hearted loss or Alexei's joyful demise.

Yes, the Demogorgon did essentially "impregnate" Will in Stranger Things Season 1 by implanting a slug-like larva into him, using his body as a host to grow and produce more creatures for the hive mind, a process that was later revealed to be part of Vecna's larger plan. Will coughed up this larva, which then hatched into a polywog (stage two of the Demogorgon life cycle), demonstrating how the Upside Down creatures reproduce and spread, as seen with Barb Holland as well.
Before they embark into the Upside Down, Will comes out as gay to his family and close friends, explaining that Vecna showed him visions of his failed and distant relationships with his loved ones after they learnt the truth.
