Usually a column chart, but it depends on what exactly you want to do and the nature of the data.
The boundary of a chart across the bottom and up the side can be the axis. It depends on the kind of charts. They are use to have the values or categories of data. In a column chart, the base of the column is at the X Axis for example.
A column chart in Excel consists of vertical bars that represent data values for different categories. Each bar's height corresponds to the value it represents, allowing for easy comparison across categories. The chart typically includes axes: the horizontal axis displays the categories, while the vertical axis shows the values. Additional features may include data labels, legends, and gridlines for clarity.
usually for comparing two different categories with the same variables i.e. experiment involving test scores and hours of tv watched, the two columns could be two people.
It can be both, though normally we arrange things in columns rather than rows. When you create a chart there is an option as to which way to chart the data, either by row or columns.

Excel does not have a specific chart area. You might be referring to the area within a chart where you can change the legend and other information. You will find chart tools on the Insert tab of the Excel 2007 ribbon.
Bar charts are good for comparing related items. Answer: for Excel it is best known as a column chart.
It depends on what you are trying to show. If you want to show how the categories relate to the entire collection of data, use a pie chart. If you want to show how the categories relate to each other, you may want to consider a column chart. Recommend you try both in Excel (it takes little effort to drop two charts on a worksheet) and see which one displays the data the way you want.

The benefit of linking a chart from an Excel worksheet to a Word document is that the chart data will always be current. Excel is spreadsheet software from Microsoft.
