Are whales bigger than great white sharks?
The great whales are. (Blues, Finbacks, Sperm, Greys) There are smaller whales - Minkes, for example - and a great white might be as big or bigger that one of them. Incidentally, great whites are NOT the biggest sharks. Basking sharks and the appropriately named whale sharks are bigger still. Even the biggest whale shark isn't as big as the biggest whale, though.
What is the name of the shark that can fit in a small aquarium?
You need to define "small aquarium" a bit more. You could be talking about a home aquarium, or you could be talking about an aquarium in a small town, in it's museum or science building. In the case of the former: None. In the case of the latter, there are a few, but they couldn't stay in there long, as the smallest of sharks outgrow all but the largest aquariums quickly. The smallest sharks I have ever seen in an aquarium were in the Monterey, California aquarium, one of the finest in the world. They were Leopard Sharks, about 24-30"long. The tank was the size of a two-story building that takes up half a city block (the Monterey Aquarium must be seen to be believed). I was told when they reach 30". they are released back into the sea.

All the whales usually eat the sharks as their normal food diet. They also even eat the killer whale or the orca.
Ocean Food Chain:
Sun>Seaweed>Zooplankton>Plankton>Krill>Shrimp>Small Fish>Medium Fish>Big Fish>Shark>Whale
The probable reason why whales might eat sharks is to protect humans and help reduce the shark attack risk vulnerability.
How many sharks are not dangerous to humans?
Probably the least dangerous shark is the biggest one - the whale shark. Sluggish plankton and krill eaters of tropical seas, their teeth are very small, and most ichthyologists believe they are probably useless. They are non-aggressive.
