The area of an object 1 x 1.2 meters is 1.2 square meters. Traditionally, boxes have three dimensions; length, width and height, and the surface area can be found with the formula 2lh + 2lw + 2wh

The total surface area of a box is 2*(LB + BH + HL) where L = length, B = breadth and H = height. This requires measurements in three dimensions: you have given only two and so the question cannot be answered.
The surface area of a box is the sum of the areas of the individual faces. If that's what you said, then there is no difference.
No, they are two different things. Area encompasses the total object while Surface Area only encompasses what it implies. For instance, if you had a box, the Area would be the total size of the box, while Surface Area would only indicate the size of the top of the box. no. area is Lenth times width and surface area is what the area of the whole object.
The front surface of a box is a rectangle. If you only need the area of the front surface, then it doesn't even matter what it's part of. Multiply the width of the surface by its height. The answer is its area.
No. If you want the area of a single surface of a box, simply multiply the height by the width of the surface of interest.
Volume is how much an object can store - like how much can you put inside a box. Surface area is the sum of the area of an objects surfaces - such as if you have a box, find the area of one side. Then you just multiply it by 6 (because a box have 6 faces) to get the total area of an object's surface.
