Answer 1

The 25% and 50% are quantiles so you can simply use the pandas quantile function to get those values.

For all the information you see in describe output, you have functions in pandas.DataFrame that you can work with, e.g.:

count -> pandas.DataFrame.count
mean -> pandas.DataFrame.mean
std -> pandas.DataFrame.std
min -> pandas.DataFrame.min
25%, 50%, 75% or any other quantile -> pandas.DataFrame.quantile
max -> pandas.DataFrame.max
