No they are not bigger then radio telescopes at all.

As far as I know, there is no "optical radio telescope". There are, separately, optical telescopes (which work with visible light), and radio telescopes (which work with radio waves).
Not necessarily.

using radio waves it collects the data.
They are optical telescopes.
Yes, that is correct.
Ability to detect radio waves is not a property of optical telescopes. Optical telescopes are designed to detect and focus visible light to form images of distant objects in space. Radio telescopes, on the other hand, are specifically designed to detect and study radio waves emitted by celestial objects.
Yes, that's correct. The longer wavelengths of radio waves mean that radio telescopes have poorer angular resolution compared to optical telescopes. This is because resolving power is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves being observed.
Optical and Radio telescopes.
Optical telescopes use either lens' (refractory) or mirrors (reflective) to magnify light. Radio telescopes use dishes to pick up radio waves. sensors on the dishes collect the waves and turn them into a picture
