General. But I've heard of people calling major generals "general" out of respect. As in if they have 2 or 3 disignations, always refer to the highest. Wouldn't want to call a major general "major."
No. General is a higher rank.
Colonel is higher. Lieutenant is a modifier that can be applied to colonel, general and governor and indicates an inferior rank to the rank it modifies.
No, first officer is not a higher rank than colonel on the Titanic. First Officer was a rank within the crew of a ship, while Colonel is a military rank.

No. There are 4, sometimes 5 ranks of General that are higher. (brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, general, and general of the army) Colonel is the highest non-Flag/General officer rank. All the Generals must be nominated by the President and approved by the Senate. Colonels do not require this.
Colonel is the higher rank.
Colonel is higher than a Lieutenant-Colonel. BTW, a Lieutenant- General is higher than a Major-General.
Considering that we have had two men who have held the rank of General (that is higher than Colonel) I would say two. They were Grant and Eisenhower.
Well, what height a person achieves is dependent primarily upon genetics. Rank won't increase someone's height. As for which rank is higher of the two, it's General.
Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) is a higher rank than 1st Lieutenant (1LT). LTC is a fairly senior rank, while 1LT is a junior officer. In the US Army, (commissioned) officer ranks from lowest to highest are: Second Lieutenant First Lieutenant Captain Major Lieutenant Colonel Colonel Brigadier General Major General Lieutenant General General General of the Army (AKA "five star general" - this rank was only awarded to WWII era generals like MacArthur and Eisenhower) In the US Army, junior officers (Second Lieutenant - Captain) are referred to as company grade officers, while Majors-Colonels are referred to as field grade. General officers are also known as "flag officers" because they're entitled to fly a personal flag with their rank insignia on it.
A Major is an Commissioned Officer is the military where as a Sergeant is an Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO). So yes a Major is higher in rank than a Sergeant.
