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.

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.

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.
