1. Penang is actually a state. Butterworth is the Penang seashore. You'll have to cross Penang Bridge to get to Penang island(part of Penang too).
2. It'll be around 4 hours from Kuala Lumpur to Penang by car. If you go there by plane(Penang airport is in Bayan Lepas, Penang), it'll take about 1 hour time.

Yes, part of Penang is an island, the other part is in the peninsular side.
If you take a plane from KL, it's about 35 minutes plane ride. If you drive, it's about 4 hours to get into Penang Island. You can cross the Penang Bridge to get there, or take the ferry boats.

By plane, just a hour away.
Penang is just small island can be driven over from the main land.
Do be careful. Do not accept any invitation from unknown people. Do not move alone. Do not carry handbag around
