The string bass and double bass are actually the same instrument, just with different names.

Both refer to the largest and lowest-pitched instrument in the string family, played with a bow or plucked with the fingers.
No, the double bass is the largest and lowest.
If you are talking about classical music, i think that the cello is used more often rather than double bass, as the tonality of the double bass is too low to be heard. On the other hand, if you are talking in terms of jazz music, the double bass is used more often, as it helps to maintain the beat and the bassline of the music.
The Double Bass has several different names such as the; String Bass, Upright Bass, Standup Bass or Contrabass.

Double Bass can also be called: Contrabass, String Bass, Upright Bass, Bass Violin, Bass Viol and Bass Fiddle among some others.
The predecessors of the double bass include the violone and the bass violin, which were prominent during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The violone, a member of the viol family, had a similar shape but was typically larger and tuned lower than the standard viols. The bass violin, often used in orchestras, also contributed to the evolution of the double bass with its design and playing techniques. These instruments laid the groundwork for the development of the modern double bass in the 18th century.
