These are stupid questions OP.
Good questions are like "Is the rent paid?" or "What am I going to eat today?"

1. Unclear question as those two words are conventionally used as synonyms even in academic circles.
2. No, both understand it as a hierarchical punitive force.

2. The standard answer will either be that they're equivalent or that Marx/Engels viewed socialism as a middle class reform movement and preferred communism for naming things. Since reformists like Bernie and AOC bandy around the term socialism that still seems to be the case.

3. I think conservatives would be more likely to view authority as justly emanating from kings, war, the victors of history, market competition, etc. whereas anarchists would view these sources as arbitrary, self-serving, or unjust. Conservatives are more likely to view society as a bunch of idiot children who need the firm guidance of a father figure to set them straight (an opinion also held by Chinese communist intellectuals). Might be unfair to anarchists because I'm not sure how it makes sense beyond small scale societies like hunter-gatherers or peasant communes. Show me how to make a silicon wafer or jet engine with a decentralized federated blah blah that's definitely not a state.
