Perimter is linear; area is two-dimensional. While the values may be either larger or smaller (for example, consider a square with one unit's width, then a square with 5 units' width), area will always be larger because of the extra dimension.

It depends on the shape. Different conditions will apply for a circle, a polygon with n sides.
There is no relationship between the perimeter and area of a rectangle. Knowing the perimeter, it's not possible to find the area. If you pick a number for the perimeter, there are an infinite number of rectangles with different areas that all have that perimeter. Knowing the area, it's not possible to find the perimeter. If you pick a number for the area, there are an infinite number of rectangles with different perimeters that all have that area.
A square with an area of 400 square units has a perimeter of 80 units.
