Centi means hundredth and milli means thousandth, and one hundredth is larger than one thousandth.
Except that the question, as stated, has no meaning. A centilitre is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A millimetre is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot compare measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

Centiliter is a measure for volume and millimeter is for length/distance. Therefore, you cannot compare them.
Yes. A millimeter is 1/1000 (one thousandth) of a meter, and a centileter is 1/100 (one hundredth) of a meter, making the centiliter larger than the millimeter. It takes 10 milliliters to make 1 centiliter. The term "centiliter", by the way, is almost never used in scientific measurement or anywhere else for that matter - just on science and math tests.
Yes.
