Standard or Soprano (same thing).
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.
According to Paul McCartney, he plays a Gibson brand Ukulele that was given to him by George Harrison.
I believe that he plays a Tenor sized Fender ukulele, there are numerous pictures of Jack Johnson 'signed' koa wood Fenders.
The picture on his web site shows a ukulele that does not have a logo on the head. It doesn't have a recognizable shape that might identify it. It may very well be a custom made ukulele. I think it is a tenor size, but it could be a concert size.
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 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.
If you used the proper strings, you can match the notes. But the sound is going to be different due to size and the use of a bow.
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.
You could certainly tune the Mandolin like that. It just requires the right size strings to be used. You could then use ukulele tabs to play songs, but the sound would be different.
It would be difficult to say which was harder. But the guitar has 6 strings and a ukulele only 4. That makes the ukulele easier to learn most of the chords on. Depending on the type of music, it may be easier to learn certain songs on the guitar.
Whatever size you wish it to be. The standard or soprano is the most common, but the tenor is very popular.
