Not a big difference due to gun calibre providing most of the AP potential.
18" vs 5" amour:
HE shell 32%
Common shell 100%
AP shell 98%

Yes.
HE shells have a larger warhead (+20% damage) but essentially no armour penetration capability and AP shells have a smaller warhead (-30% damage) but can deliver it through armour.
