"Bullet" only refers to the projectile which is propelled at a target, not the entire cartridge. A cartridge contains the bullet and gun powder and usually a case and primer. The "power" of a bullet is determined by its weight (or more correctly its mass) and its velocity, not by its shape or construction. Bullets can have weights from around 20 grains to over 750 grains (there are 7000 grains to 1 pound) and can have velocities of lower than 100 feet per second to over 4000 feet per second.

"Powerful" is somewhat of a subective term, but the answer is yes. 5.56 is a rifle cartridge and 9mm, assuming you mean 9mm parabellum, is a handgun cartridge. Under normal circumstances, bullets fired from rifles will have more velocity and more muzzle energy than bullets fired from handguns.

The .460 S&W Magnum is generally more powerful than the .44 Magnum.

While the .44 Magnum is a formidable round, the .460 is designed for larger game and more extreme conditions, making it the more powerful option overall.
