1 metre is a length. Square feet is an area. As they measure different things, you can not convert between them. If on the other hand you want to convert between 1 square metre and 1 square foot: 1 square metre = (approximately) 10.76 square feet.
A metre cannot be converted to a square metre. A metre is a length and a square meter is an area.

None. A linear metre is a measure of length while a square metre is a measure of area. There is no concordance between the two.
Nothing - they're both the same measurement. You can use either - depending on the circumstances. For example, you could say a room is 20 square metres in area, or it is 20 metres squared. Either way is correct.
