Is A federal form of government is one in which a central authority holds all power?

That would be an overstatement. The federal government does not hold all powers, there are certainly some powers that are reserved for state governments or local governments, and even some that are reserved for individuals. The term federal government means that there are lower levels of government (which in the United States are the 50 state governments) which have gotten together to form a larger government to which they all belong.


In a federal government the states are more powerful than the national government?

No. Because of the tendency of the Supreme Court to rule in favor of the federal government as well as the "supremacy clause" (Federal Laws override state laws if there is a conflict) in the constitution, the federal government exercises more authority and overall power than state governments.
