Whatever the ratio of perimeters of the similar figures, the areas will be in the ratios squared.
Examples:
* if the figures have perimeters in a ratio of 1:2, their areas will have a ratio of 1²:2² = 1:4.
* If the figures have perimeters in a ratio of 2:3, their areas will have a ratio of 2²:3² = 4:9.

If the figures are similar, all linear measurements are proportional, while equivalent areas are proportional to the square of the area. For example, if you increase the length by a factor of 10, both the width and the perimeter will also increase by a factor of 10; while the area will increase by a factor of 10 squared (= 100).
No, in general that is not true. For two similar figures it is true. But you can easily design two different figures that have the same perimeters and different areas, or the same area and different perimeters. For example, two rectangles with a different length-to-width ratio.
Similar figures are geometrical figures, which have the same shape but not the same size
it is definitely similar figures!
Their angles are the same.
