There are lots of reasons for leaves varying in shape and size, listed are just a few.
Water Retension: Plants living in dry condition are likely to have leaves with a small surface area that are often needle shaped in order to retain water. 90% of the water absorbed by a plant is lost through evaporation through the leaves.
Catching Food: Some plants have leaves shaped like slides, these are also slipperl and insects unfortunate enough to land on them are likely to slip into a vat of water and digestive juices.
Protection: Some plants have needle shaped leaves for protection from predators, a good example are the coniferous trees in the arctic. Their leaves are shaped like spines to deter hungry animals. There's not much sunlight or rain in the arctic so every leaf is precious.
Getting rid of excess water: Plants breath through tiny spores in their leaves, if these were to become clogged with water, the plant would effectively drown. Most leaves are shaped especially to allow water to run off them, with the veins in the leaves acting as gutters.

If they are the same shapes but differ only in size, then they are SIMILAR shapes. Otherwise, they are simply different shapes.
Yes - even shapes with different area.
Yes many different shapes can have the same volume
Different plants have different shapes of leaves. Some have jagged edges.

There are all types of leaves big or small and different shapes, there are oak tree leaves firn tree leaves and more
There are three main shapes for simple leaves: ovate (egg-shaped), lanceolate (long and narrow), and elliptical (oval). These shapes can vary slightly depending on the species, but most simple leaves can be categorized into one of these three shapes.
Elliptical: oval-shaped with pointed ends. Lanceolate: long and narrow like a lance. Ovate: egg-shaped with a rounded base and tapered tip. Palmate: lobed like the fingers of a hand.
Leaves from different plants can vary in size, shape, color, texture, margin (edge), and pattern of veins. These differences are adaptations to help the plant efficiently carry out photosynthesis, regulate water loss, and deter herbivores. By examining these leaf characteristics, botanists can often identify the plant species.

There are many different kinds of shapes like oblong, cordate
They both have very different flavours, different usages and different leaf shapes.
Leaves are alike in that they are the primary site for photosynthesis in plants, where they convert sunlight into energy for the plant. They also help regulate water loss through transpiration and play a role in gas exchange. Additionally, leaves are typically thin, flat structures with a waxy outer layer to help protect against water loss.

Cells are different shapes and sizes because they have different functions. The functions dictate the shapes and sizes.
