A hurricane can affect a large area, with the most intense impacts typically being felt within about 50-100 miles of the storm's center. However, effects such as strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surge can extend hundreds of miles from the core of the storm, impacting a wide region.

No. The severity of one hurricane does not affect the severity of the next. For example. Hurricane Katrina devastated the U.S. gulf coast in 2005. Hurricane Isaac hit the same area exactly 7 years later and was much less significant.
Hurricane force winds can affect a larger area than storm surge, as they extend outwards from the center of the storm. Storm surge, on the other hand, is a localized phenomenon that occurs near the coast when a hurricane makes landfall. Both can cause significant damage and pose a threat to coastal communities.
The eye of a hurricane is an area of calm clear weather at a hurricane's center.
No. The winds of a tornado are concentrated in a much smaller area. Typically the winds of a hurricane affect an area a few hundred miles across. By contrast the winds of a tornado usually affect an area less than a quarter of a mile wide and rarely more than a mile.
It would depend on how big the hurricane is and in what direction it is moving in.

The center of a hurricane is an area of calm winds called the eye of the hurricane.
