Yes- a simple example is to think of two boxes with the same volume - 1cm3
the first a cube with sides 1cm and a surface area of 6 cm2 (6 equal sides)
the second a box 2 X1 X1/2 the surface area is 2 sides of 2X1, 2 sides 1X1/2) and 2 sides 2X1/2 making in total 7 cm2

yes.
No solid figure has a surface area equal to its volume. That would not be possible as the units of measure are different.
Yes. A cube that is 2x2x2 has the same volume as a rectangular prism that is 1x2x4, which is 8. The surface area of the cube is 24 while the surface area of the rectangular prism is 28.
Volume and surface area can never be the same because volume is a measure in 3-dimensional space whereas area is a measure in 2-dimensional space. The dimensions are different and so equality is not possible.Volume and surface area can never be the same because volume is a measure in 3-dimensional space whereas area is a measure in 2-dimensional space.

depends on the shape... if its a sphere or a prism or what. You'll get different answers because they have different surface area to volume ratios. Sphere will give you the biggest volume for a given surface area.
