I assume you mean a polygon inscribed in a circle. It is regular if all its sides and angles are equal.
The circle has a smaller area than the polygon.
No because a regular polygon has equal sides and equal interior angles
circumscribed means the polygon is drawn around a circle, and inscribed means the polygon is drawn inside the circle. See related links below for polygon circumscribed about a circle and polygon inscribed in a circle.
