Yes, hydrogen bonding may be the strongest force but dispersion forces (London dispersion) increases strength in bonds with size. The greater size the greater strength. Therefore, if you have a huge carbon molecule the forces might be stronger than the H-bond.

Hydrogen bonding is not actually a type of bond it is an attraction that is stronger than London Dispersion Forces which are present in all types of molecules.

What is the difference between intra-molecular bonding and inter-molecular interaction?

Intermolecular is the bonding between the molecules (what connects them all together) For example dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding (HFON)Intramolecular is the bonding between the atoms like ionic covalent or metallic.For example in a water molecule the intermolecular bonding would be the hydrogen bonding. The non-bonding pairs will connect with other water molecules non-bonding pairs to create a hydrogen bond. Whereas the intramolecular bonding would be covalent. Because that's what joins the individual hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom.
