          <DataTemplate>

              </Button>
          </DataTemplate>
      </ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>

Answer 1

Yes, if Assignments is a collection of string then you need

<Button Tag="{Binding}">

If Assignments is a collection of Assignment where Assignment has a property Name you need

<Button Tag="{Binding Name}">

Answer 2

If by "current item" you mean the currently selected item:

<Button Tag="{Binding SelectedItem, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ListView}}}"/>

If by "current item" you mean the data item being rendered by the template:

<Button Tag="{Binding}"/>
