It will depend partially on the type of sound one is looking for. Train uses a Tenor sized ukulele, but a concert size would also be a good fit.
The lute is an early instrument similar to the ukulele.
Nothing, they are the same thing. The original ukulele was what is now referred to as the soprano. The larger concert size was made to get a bit more sound for a bigger audience. And then the tenor size, bigger, deeper sound.
It will depend on the tuning and size of the instrument. On the baritone size the lowest note is going to be the D string. On the GCEA tuned ukulele, it will be the C string.
It will depend on what sized ukulele and what size guitar as well as how they are tuned. A 'standard' sized ukulele is going to have a higher pitch than most guitars. However, a baritone ukulele is going to be pretty similar to that of a guitar.

You can. A Tenor ukulele is a bit bigger than a standard ukulele, so it might be harder to get the strings to the correct tuning, but it shouldn't be a problem.
Standard or Soprano (same thing).
Whatever size you wish it to be. The standard or soprano is the most common, but the tenor is very popular.
I believe that he plays a Tenor sized Fender ukulele, there are numerous pictures of Jack Johnson 'signed' koa wood Fenders.
The main differences between playing the ukulele and the guitar are their size, tuning, number of strings, and sound. The ukulele is smaller, has four strings, and is tuned differently than the guitar. The guitar is larger, has six strings, and produces a fuller, richer sound compared to the ukulele.
The ukulele is generally considered easier to learn than the guitar due to its smaller size, fewer strings, and simpler chord shapes.
There are many variables that influence the sound of an ukulele. The strumming patterns, strings and the music being played will greatly affect the resulting sounds. My opinion would be that a soprano size ukulele has the sound most associated with the Hawaiian music.
