Either can be used. Use compared to for similarities, and use compared with for differences.

Neither. You would use the word 'compared with' or 'compared to.' If you just use the word 'compare' you need either the words this, that, these, or those between 'compare' and 'with' or 'to'. :)
'These two objects were compared with each other'
'These two objects were compared to each other'
'I will compare this with that' 'I will compare this to that'
