Your Answer for Question 1:
VA: the address understood and used by a program, not the real address on the memory itself.
PA: the real address on memory. 
In order to get a PA from a VA, we have to map or translate VA into PA. Virtual page number is translated into physical page number, and the page offset is the same.

Your Answer for Question 2:
Fixed-size pages help to eliminiate the need to find a contiguous block of memory to allocate to a program since the system only need to find sufficient number of pages in memory. It also simplifies the translation process.

Bigger chunks: reduce page fault since we can accomodate more data.
Smaller chunks: faster access time since it's smaller.
