Your Answer for Question 1:
A VA is an address that will map to a PA or disk address, and a PA is an address that can be used to actually access main memory. VA are translated into PAs by some implementation executed by software or hardware.

Your Answer for Question 2:
Fixed size chunks enables the memory system to simply find a certain number of pages to run a program rather than search through memory to find a block of a certain size (which is harder to do efficiently). Bigger chunks mean that bigger programs can fit into a given chunk; smaller chunks means that more chunks will be available.
