Tectonic plate size does affect earthquake magnitude.
Earthquakes happen when one plate slides above/below another plate, to do this it takes massive amounts of convection energy from the mantle to move the plate above. The larger the mass of the plate, the more energy is needed to move it which means that large plates have a lot of stored up energy in them before the quake in question. When the energy is released the plate boundary snaps releasing all the built up energy. As there was so much energy stored in the plate the more is released, causing a larger, more devastating earthquake.
An intraplate earthquake is an earthquake that occurs in the interior of a tectonic plate. However, an interplate earthquake is one that occurs at a plate boundary.

0 because we are in the muddle of a tectonic plate so it is very rare for an earthquake to happen in the middle of a tectonic plate
On a global tectonic scale, movement of the Caribbean and the North American plates were responsible for the Haitian earthquake. However on a subregional tectonic scale, there is a smaller plate that separates the Caribbean and the North American plates known as the Gonave micro-plate on which Haiti is partly situated (on the eastern end). The Gonave micro-plate is bounded to the north by the Oriente and Septentrional Fracture Zones and to the south by the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault, movement on which caused the magnitude 7 Haitian earthquake on the 12th of January 2010. Please see the related questions and links.
The Kashmiri Earthquake was affected by the destructive tectonic plate boundaries. Eurasian and Indian plate hitting each other. That's what caused the Himalayas. Once, they hit an earthquake occurs. actually it ocurs not as soon as it hits but after hundreds and thusands of years after the presure builds up enough
Not that Often, According to scientist its about 30 years.
The Kamchatka earthquake was on the Pacific plate.
Haiti is on the boundary of two tectonic plates, the North American plate and the Caribbean plate. The shifting of these plates is what caused the massive 7 magnitude earthquake on January 12, 2010.
An intraplate earthquake is an earthquake that occurs in the interior of a tectonic plate, whereas an interplate earthquake (plate boundary earthquake) is one that occurs at a plate boundary. Intraplate earthquakes are rare, but both can inflict large amounts of damage to populated areas.

It is when two tectonic plates collide and they rubs, this causes the rubble which you get from the earthquake. You only get earthquakes if your country is in between a tectonic plate or on the tectonic plate.
Where a tectonic plate slides past another.

I think it was the Caribbean plate and the cocos plate.
The Caribbean plate and the North American plate.
