Your Answer for Question 1:
A virtual address is an address used by a process that isn't really the address of anything, but it maps to a real physical address of some data in main memory. A page table is used by each process to lookup a virtual address and translate it into its corresponding physical address in main memory.

Your Answer for Question 2:
With fixed size chunks, the programmers and compilers don't have to deal with manipulating the two part address of the variable block size segmentation scheme. Bigger chunks simplify protection between the OS and the user programs and increase the efficiency of implementing paging. Smaller chunks allow for more pages.
