If you hold a ukulele in a right handed position, the string closest to you is the G string, or string 4. Then going down they continue as C, E then A, with the A string being furthest from you. The C string is the thickest string and the A string is the thinnest.
No, though some can be used for both depending on the size and type. Metal strings are seldom used on an ukulele as the instrument is not designed for the stress.

For an Irish Tenor Banjo the strings (From thickest to thinest) are tuned , G, D, A, E. However for a Jazz style banjo, it is more common to tune the strings to C, G, D, A. Depends which style you are playing.
The first choice you have to make is what tuning you are going to use. The most common is the G'CEA with a high G, meaning the C is actually the lowest note. You can also get a set of them with a fairly common GCEA, and there are a number of less common tunings. There are many types of strings and they all have their fans. You may have to experiment with different strings and find the type that you like and that sound best on your ukulele. Aquila Nylgut strings get good reviews and I have them on five of my ukuleles. I have Martins on two of my vintage ukuleles. Jake Shimabukuro and Aldrine Gerraro use D'Addario strings. And the individual ukulele may work better with one type over another. That you will have to figure out on your own.

A radio tuner uses wheels and strings (at least, they used to; modern radio tuners have more sophisiticated methods). A pulley generally uses wheels and ropes, but a very light-weight pulley might use strings instead of rope.
