Why ac unit is blowing hot air inside the house but outside unit blows cold air?

Sounds like your system is a heat pump. When a heat pump cools in the summer, the inside coil gets cold and the outside coil gets hot. When the heat pump heats in the winter, the inside coil gets hot, and the outside coil gets cold. It sounds like your heat pump is stuck in heating mode. Check your thermostat to be sure it didn't accidentally get switched to heat. It could be the reversing valve inside the unit is stuck, or an electrical control is broken, forcing the reversing valve to stay in the heating position. Perhaps a call to the serviceman is in order!

What is the proper ratio between outside unit tonnage and the number of vents the unit can handle?

There isn't a direct correlation between the tonnage of the outside unit and the number of vents it can handle. The number of vents a system can handle is more dependent on the size of the ductwork and the layout of the home. It's best to consult with a professional HVAC technician to determine the appropriate size unit for your specific needs.
