It's hard to say, and it's a question many airline operators are facing as their current, long-range, wide body fleets are aging. You have to consider things such as: cost of each plane, fuel costs, operating costs, airports that can handle an a380, cost of replacing old planes with the new vs. maintaining the current fleet. There's also pilot training time and costs to consider. Current 747 pilots need little retraining if they move on from 200-400 series 747's to the 8i. If they move on to a a380 however, they have to relearn. Even a current Airbus pilot will require considerably more extensive training for the a380.

A huge difference... First of all, the A380 is made by Airbus (European company) and the 747 is made by Boeing (US company) the a380 has 2 complete floors while the 747 has a floor and a half. On top of a 747 is a bump or a "bubble" which is the "half a floor." There is also a big difference in ranges, and technical stuff I don't really know, but you can find that out on the internet.

This depends entirely on the specification required. To think of it simply, if one aeroplane was better then the other would never be bought, and this clearly isn't the case.
