Depending on where you live, sizes vary, out west they use a lot of round and oval, in the east, square and rectangle. I believe you'll find that the OD will run about 8" x 8", 8" x 13", 13" x 13", 13" x 18", and 18" x 18". All of those numbers can vary a little. My house has a 12" x 12" and the ID is about 10.5".
It's not unusual to have different sizes, and have the fireplace with a larger flue than the furnace.

The furnace should be whatever the furnace requires. The fireplace will be a ratio of the firebox opening, depending on flue shape.
Depends on the size of the furnace and fireplace, but an 8x8 tile is common for furnace installations.
