If I have polymorphed into a creature can I use the effects of my feats? For example:

1. If I have Alert do I still get a plus 5 to initiative?




2. If I have the Grappler feat can I still pin a creature that I have
   grappled?




3. If I have Tough does my polymorphed form gain the extra hit points?

You don't get feats while polymorphed

This spell transforms a creature that you can see within range into a new form. [...]

The target's game statistics, including mental ability scores, are
replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast. It retains its
alignment and personality.

Feats are class features and this are part of a creatures game statistics. As such, they are replaced with the creature's statics when they transform into the new creature. See this question for more details on what "game statistics" means.

The rule of thumb when you transform is that if it's not on the new form's stat block, you don't get it in that form.

Thus, none of your feats have any effect while in polymorph form.
