Well, you can, but not exactly. Since you can't just load a Hi8 into your laptop's Hi8 drive, you'll have to use a capture device to record the contents of the Hi8 tape to a file on your computer. You'll need something like this (https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Definition-Composite-Cyberlink-C039/dp/B00603S1OS/). Make sure you capture in interlaced if possible so you can put it though HandBrake to deinterlace it.
I found one is this good?
eBay is usually the place to go for that kind of thing. Unfortunately, I cannot find round VCR belts on eBay anymore, for whatever reason (used to be able to buy them in this massive bags that contained a variety of sizes). You can get a pack of square belts from Amazon, which may provide an awkward fit, but it might still work. Since I haven't bought this pack specifically, I cannot vouch for the quality of their construction, nor their ability to fit to a gear they may not be meant for.

Alternatively, if you want the long way around, you can try to get the belt out of the camera (as long as it hasn't melted, which happens a lot), measure it's diameter, and buy a single belt of that specific length from eBay.
No; don’t convert them to VHS, it’s 2019, VHS has degraded quality and the VHS itself will degrade overtime as will your 8mm tapes. Instead you should convert them to a flash drive or a hard drive with this Elgato Video Capture - Digitize Video for Mac, PC or iPad (USB 2.0) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0029U2YSA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cspGDbPVVP1YN
