Answer 1

The input parameters that are listed in the procedure and the input parameters that you pass to the procedure when you execute it have to be in the same order. Also, you should not try to pass emp_seq.NEXTVAL or SYSDATE to the procedure. In the following, I changed the order of the input parameters to match the order of the parameters you were passing to it. I also removed the emp_seq.NEXTVAL and the date from the list of parameters passed to the procedure upon execution.
CREATE SEQUENCE emp_seq
START WITH      800
INCREMENT BY    1
MAXVALUE        1000
Sequence created.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE add_employee
  (name       VARCHAR2,
   title      VARCHAR2,
   manager    NUMBER,
   salary     NUMBER,
   commission NUMBER,
   department NUMBER)
AS
BEGIN
  DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE
    (MODULE_NAME => 'ADD_EMPLOYEE',
     ACTION_NAME => 'INSERT INTO EMP');
  INSERT INTO EMP
     (empno,
      ename,
      job,
      mgr,
      hiredate,
      sal,
      comm,
      deptno)    
  VALUES
    (emp_seq.NEXTVAL,
     name,
     title,
     manager,
     SYSDATE,
     salary,
     commission,
     department);
  DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE ('' , '');
END add_employee;
Procedure created.
