A: 
If it's a short and wide dinghy you will be slow, no matter what oar length. Like guys noted, too long oars will hit you in the belly or you will hit the bottom rocks. So get 5ft or 5.5ft oars.
OTH, in efficient boat the formula is 0.5B*25/7 where B is beam width. Round up to the next 6" in boat longer than 10ft or round down in boat 10ft or shorter. Some people prefer over-lapped grip and then paddles should be 6" longer. Hope this helps.

A: 
In the case of a set of oars as for a rowboat, You should be able to find a formula online that will tell you how long the oars need to be.

The factors are the width of the boat between the oarlocks and the height of the oarlocks above the waterline.

If the oars are too long, they will be unwieldy and if they are too short the person rowing will have to pull at an awkward angle.

I have less experience with canoe paddles, but what was said previously sounds right, it depends upon your height and the posture from which you will be paddling. If you sometimes paddle sitting on a thwart seat but paddle in a kneeling posture at other times you might actually need two paddles of different lengths.

In my case, an oar too long hits me in the stomach. Really a personal preference.

A: 
There are several reasons -one is your height, the size of the canoe or row boat, depth of water. You use the size that fits the user and the purpose. IF you are 5' and paddling a small canoe in shallow water you would use a different paddle than if you were rowing a large canoe
