The smallest, the Spined Pygmy Shark reaches full length at about 8".
The largest, Whale Shark will reach as long as 50 feet, though over 40 feet is hard to come by, and anything approaching 60 feet is unproven reports from the 1800's.
Then there are all of the many, many species in between.

Depends entirely on the shark. Some species stay 6 inches or less, the whale shark can grow in excess of 60 feet.

That depends on the kind of shark. There are hundreds of kinds of sharks, ranging in size from just over a foot to more than a school bus. Be more specific.

If you're talking about a freshwater aquarium "shark" (which isn't really a shark), it depends on the type.
Bala sharks can get up to a foot and a half long.
Red-tailed black sharks and Rainbow sharks can get to 6 or 7 inches.
Black sharks and Silver-tipped sharks (a.k.a. Shark catfish) can get up to about two feet.

Depending on the type of shark - HUGE!
Most species are between 6-8 feet, but a lot get much bigger than that.

A Megladon could be 3 times the size of a Great White. Fortunately, it seems to be extinct.
Whale Shark is the largest fish in the sea. They are harmless plankton eaters.
