Your Answer for Question 1:
A virtual address exists only in the virtual memory while the physical address is the actual physical memory. The virtual address is produced by the CPU which is then translated by a combination of hardware and software to get the physical address.

Your Answer for Question 2:
Bigger chunks are good in that they reduce page faults on an overall rate. However, since the chunks are bigger, there is a larger miss penalty since we have to find a bigger block to put into VM.

Smaller chunks are good because the miss penalty is minimized. However, the miss rate is higher because the chunks are smaller, and thus there is less probability the needed address is in the VM.
