It depends on the individual and whether they are a visual or audio person. I think it is harder to do it with a pitch pipe. But part of it will depend on your 'ear' and how good it is musically.
You can use a tuner, a piano, a pitch fork, a pitch pipe, or another instrument to determine the correct pitch and then adjusting the way you play your instrument (for example tightening or loosening a specific string on a violin).
The shorter the pipe the higher the pitch. Conversely the longer the pipe the lower the pitch.
The related question below talks about the various tunings and strings for an ukulele. The mechanical process is pretty straightforward for those that can be done with a simple knot at the bridge end. Those that have a more complex method are still pretty easy. There are a couple of videos on youtube that show the method of tying the knots. And remember that it will take several days for the strings to stretch and settle to the point where they will hold the tuning for more than a few minutes.
You can use a pitch pipe to get the right notes. But the tuning and order of the strings is different. For a guitar it is E A D G B E. For a violin it is G D A E. You could tune the guitar's A string using the violin tuner and then tune the rest from the A. Could be there's an octave's difference, though.
Pitch. Longer = lower
The number of notes and the ones they have. Guitar will have 6 notes and an ukulele will have 4.
No, a pitch pipe just plays the pitch and you match the string to it. For a chromatic, you play the string, and it tells you if its to high or to low. I would recommend a chromatic, especially if you are a beginner.
A tuner! A pitch pipe. Your ears Planet waves has this tuner called the SOS tuner which helps you tune using 2 small red LED's

You cant you either have to do it by ear or with something to compare the sound to like a pitch pipe or another guitar already tuned like that. Although there might be a tuner designed specifically for it most tuners are designed to standard (EADGBE) Tuning.

Pitch is directly proportional to the size of the pipe.
