"4.) Does the size of an antenna affect the probability of it being
struck by lightning?"

Probably. It`s a bigger target, more likely to have some part nearer a
highly charged area of the atmosphere. A short distance makes a high
gradient. If the antenna has sharp points it is more likely to trigger
lightning.
