Your Answer for Question 1:
The virtual address is larger than the physical address. The virtual address doesn't map to anything that exists directly. Rather by using the page table as a type of mapping we come to the physical address which actually exists in memory. 

Your Answer for Question 2:
By allocating pages in fixed size chunks we guarantee that every page is of equal size and that no fragmentation occurs. Having bigger chunks allows us to write large programs as well as small programs to virtual memory rather than have to split up the program into chunks. With smaller chunks we can avoid situations of gross memory waste. Rather we split large memory requests into pieces of smallerr chunks and don't lose memory to internal fragmentation.
