YUPP... if you have a chicken nugget and a gold nugget, they can both have the same mass but the gold nugget is going to weigh one heck of a lot more. (my dad told me this so you betcha its right.)

No. In a vacuum, the weight of an object will be the product their mass, times the gravity. In other words, objects with different masses will have different weights.
Yes. A good example would be styrofoam and steel. The same volume of each of these substances would make for vastly different weights.
That is because Earth has more gravity. Weight = mass x gravity.
Density isn't determined by the size of the specimen but by its mass per unit of volume. An oak branch has the same density as the whole tree it came from--the weights are vastly different, but density is the same.
Yes. In the absence of air, it doesn't even matter how their shapes and sizes compare.
