Does AK 47 7.62mm bullet have more range and stopping power than a 5.56mm NATO bullet?

This is a rather large controversy...
Yes
Many people say yes because it's a larger bullet that can carry more energy. Someone who does all the fancy math can come in here and flesh this out more.
No
The AK's 7.62x39 is not NATO's 7.62. NATO's 7.62 does have more range than the 5.56, it also has a larger cartridge than the AK version, pushing it faster. The AK version drops off after ~300M. NATO 5.56 is as accurate as the AK 7.62 out to 1000M (with optics of course).
As for Stopping power, this is about the projectile itself. NATO isn't allowed to use expanding rounds (yay Geneva Convention!). However any civilian can access them. They instantly make 5.56 a more "powerful" round even with kinetic math since expanding rounds impart a much higher percentage of their energy on target. I would argue however that even 5.56 ball has more "stopping power" than 7.62x39 ball. 7.62x39 is extremely hard to find in expanding projectiles. (Maybe if a civilian reloads their own ammo.)
The terminal effects of the two rounds are very different. Most people think all bullets act the same when they hit you. They do not knock people back, and people hope the bullets just go straight through. The, 7.62x39 is infamous for straight through shots. The only 5.56 round that I'm aware of with this reputation is the US Army's "green tip" steel core round. And I've even seen that one behave in the 5.56's more normal fashion. 5.56 tends to bounce around the body. So while the 7.62x39 leaves a slightly larger hole going straight through, the current 5.56 rounds leave a slightly smaller hole that can travel literally all over the body. Since 5.56 is traveling along bones, it's more likely to destroy joints, which is what will actually make someone "drop". Well that and a head shot.
*The US Army is fielding a new round, and has always had alternate ammunition to the green tip.

Rodolfo Arambulo's Multishock it's considered first in the world?
Yes it is the first in the world. Before his invention the most lethal type of bullet with the most stopping power was the hollowpoint bullet. His invention the Multishock bullet fragments into 3-4 pieces which effectively increases the stopping power of the bullet. Sad to say it was further developed by an Israeli company, IMI.
Does a380 bullet have the same stopping power of a 9mm bullet?
The .380 is a 9mm bullet. But, going with the assuming that you're comparing the .380 ACP (9x17mm) against the 9mm Luger/9mm Parabellum (9x19mm), the answer would be no.

What is the difference in grains of bullets for black powder?
The grains of a bullet, be it black powder or not , is the weight of the bullet. Lets say you have a .50 caliber rifle, and fire a 250 grain bullet at a target and hit dead center. Then fire a 300 grain bullet, that bullet will hit slightly lower on the target , but will have more force or stopping power" due to the weight. So the higher the grain the heaver the bullet.

It depends on the caliber and the barrel length.Also, the "effective range" is not the same as how far a bullet will travel.A .22 can fly more than a mile, but it has no "stopping power" at that range.

What caliber is best suited for a compact concealed carry firearm 9mm or 40?
This is mainly personal preference. The 9mm rounds will result in a lighter, cheaper round to shoot, but offers significantly less stopping power then a .40 caliber bullet. If it was going to be your primary concealed carry firearm, I'd go with the .40 because of the extra stopping power. Once again though, this is all personal preference.
