Glock is the name of the company AND the inventor- Gaston Glock.
You're getting into an unending debate. M1911 fans swear it's the best pistol ever made, while Glock fans swear that the Glock is. Sig Sauer pistols have a pretty significant following, as well. I don't think there'll ever be much of a consensus on that.

They are both amazingly reliable pistols. I would be hard pressed to say which one is more reliable, or accurate. Best thing I can tell you is that if it feels better in your hand buy it. There is very little difference in the two pistols. If a manual safety mechanism is important to you go with the H&K. I have a Glock 22 and have had it for years, over 100k round through it now and not one single malfunction, and I love it as I have smaller hands. The H&K is a bit large in the grip for me.

No. Because a Glock 26 is chambered in 9mm, as a Glock 23 is chambered in .40 s&w. For example you can use a Glock 22 (full size) in Glock 23 (compact) and in Glock 27 (sub-compact) But you cannot use Glock 27 mags in Glock 23 or Glock 22.
Police most often use the 9mm Glock 17 or the .40 S&W Glock 22. The glock 17 magazine holds 17 rounds (+1 in the chamber), while the Glock 22 holds 15(+1).
Follow the instruction s in the owner's manual. Call Glock and request one if you don't have one.
Revolvers and single shot/ 2 shot pistols. Automatic pistols were not yet invented.
"Best" is too subjective to define for a hand gun. The biggest, the most practical, the most accurate, the most concealable, and the most durable pistols are all totally different guns. Two very popular models are the 9mm Glock and .45 caliber 1911. Both are used extensively by law enforcement and military personnel.
