If a parallelogram is equilateral does it mean it is a regular polygon?
Not necessarily. The angles can be different.
-----
Would it also be equiangular?
Not necessarily.
If the sides and angles are equal, it's a square, which is regular.

If a parallelogram is equilateral does it mean it is a regular polygon? Would it also be equiangular?
No and no.  The easiest example is a rhombus (diamond shape) which is
not a square:

It is a parallelogram, and it is equilateral, but it is not equiangular, 
so it is not regular.

If it's equilateral and the four angles are the same (equiangular) then it's a square. If opposite angles are the same but you have two of each, then it's a rhombus (diamond shape)
