1) Anyone have any idea about structure for very short Chicago essay?
What is the one thing that most people do not know about you?
What book, play, or movie would you recommend to the admissions committee? Why?
It is your first day of business school and people are selecting study groups. How would you describe the value you will bring to a study group?
2) Can I use Background Essay of Kellogg for this essayor Assessment Essay? Because I have a good family background that sharpens me, can I use it for this essay?
If the admissions committee were to interview one of your closest colleagues, what aspect of your personal development would this person say is especially important for the admissions committee to know?

Make it something interesting.

You can use whatever you want. Should you? Thats another question.
Odds are, if you try to tell the admissions committee that the one thing a PROFESSIONAL COLLEAGUE would tell the adcoms about YOUR personal development is DETAILS ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.... I'd question your sanity. Keep in mind it will be transparent that you are using another essay. Don't just try to force fit stuff.
I'd also caution you against the family background stuff - people tend to write more about their family than they do about themselves. Something to keep in mind.
Either way - the background essay from Kellogg is pretty darn different - GSB is asking for one aspect of your personal development whereas Kellogg is asking background, values, academics, activities and leadership skills. Common!! These are not one and the same.
And how in the world would your assesment essay fit here? It's an assesment of your candidacy, specific to Kellogg, not GSB, and it's not talking about your personal development, its probably got stuff in there about GMAT scores, or analytical skills, and work experience, etc etc etc.
Here's my honest advice: I think you are trying to cut corners and save time, and I can appreciate why you feel pressured to do so, but it's not going to do you any favours when it matters most.

I will just give examples of the things that I wrote in my short essays:
1) What is the one thing that most people do not know about you?
I am a good backgammon player. Then I elaborate on why the game appeals to me (risks, strategical thinking).
2) What book, play, or movie would you recommend to the admissions committee? Why?
Lord of the Rings.
The book made me learn English
3) It is your first day of business school and people are selecting study groups. How would you describe the value you will bring to a study group?
I talked about my sense of humor.

thanks! 
How the book appealed to me is the second part of the answer. 
Just kidding.
