Yes.
No, Simon Peter is a distinct person from Simon. Both were apostles, however.
John's gospel names Simon Iscariot as Judas' father. (This was not the same Simon who became a disciple of Jesus and was renamed Peter.)
No. There is no indication that they are.
Paul was not crucified upside down, he was beheaded. Peter was the apostle that was, as he said he did not deserve the same death as Jesus.
There are no books the same in the Bible.
The same person he is everywhere else in the Bible: Simon, called Peter, son of John (or possibly Jonah) and brother of Andrew.

Were the owners of the house the same? They were both named Simon, but this was a common name of the time: two of the disciples were named Simon (Simon Peter, Simon the Zealot), as well as Judas Iscariot's father (Jn 6:71) and one of Jesus' brothers (Mk 6:3). One Simon is described as a Pharisee and the other as "Simon the Leper". Since "Pharisee" only means that one adhered to the beliefs of that sect, a leper could theoretically be a Pharisee, albeit a permanently unclean one. But if a man is a leper, and known as "Simon the Leper," it's unlikely he would be described simply as a Pharisee.
No, Saint Simon and Saint Peter are two different individuals in Christianity. Saint Peter is also known as Saint Simon Peter, as Peter was his given name and Simon was his original name before he was renamed by Jesus.
"Peter" is named five different ways:"Peter," in Matthew 14:28"Simon" in Luke 22:31"Simon Peter" in Matthew 16:16"Symeon" at Acts 15:14"Cephas" at John 1:42But it was the Apostle Paul who was from Tarsus.Roman Catholic AnswerTo shed some light on the confusion, his name was Simon, that was his Jewish name in Aramaic. Jesus gave him the name "rock" in Matthew 16:18. The word for "rock" is Kephas or Cephas in Hebrew, and Petros (feminine) or Petras (masculine) (most other languages have gender in their words) in Greek (from which we get the name Peter).
John's gospel names Simon Iscariot as Judas' father. (This was not the same Simon who became a disciple of Jesus and was renamed Peter.)
Yes. They had the same father and mother, Jacob and Leah.
Nowhere.I think the story that you are referring to, is where a certain man of Samaria, a sorcerer, named Simon, (not the same Simon, as Simon Peter that it seems you are confusing him with), became converted to Christianity. He (Simon the sorcerer)saw how when Peter or disciples laid hands on someone, they received the Holy Ghost, evidenced at the time by tongue speaking, and prophesying. So he wanted this power for himself and so he went to Peter to ask him, how much must he pay to get this power. Simon the sorcerer, apparently thought miracles were like magic tricks that could be paid for. Peter basically told him to get lost, and repent, or God will put a hurting on him, Simon of course got scared at that point, and backed off, even asking Peter to pray that God wouldn't do this. This story is in Act 8:8-24.
Simon Peter, called at the same time was his brother Andrew.
Andrew Simon Peter's brother, Peter, died by crucifixion. According to tradition, Peter was crucified upside down at his own request, as he believed he was not worthy to die in the same manner as Jesus.
No. There is no indication that they are.
