I'm going to complicate this even more for you. Every printer is different!

So, yes:   
More pages cost more.  
More copies costs less per copy.  
A larger page costs more.

So you're going to have to contact several printers and then take a lot of notes. I started doing this myself for a project and you just can't carry over specifics from one printer to another.

In general, the biggest factor is number of copies. This also determines if offset printing (cheaper to do but has a high set-up cost, so is designed for printing several hundred copies or more) or digital printing is best for you.

Page number is often in multiples of 4 but most of the book printers I looked at wanted it in multiples of 8. So ask. There isn't a ton of difference between printing, say 96 vs 104 pages, but it will make a difference.

Page size will vary in cost not just by the amount of paper but by what are the stock sizes the printer works with, like in the examples you mention above. But this will vary some printer to printer.

Print on demand is way cheaper for you but costs a lot more per book. Not a good choice if you want a fair number of books to physically bring with you places.

I don't know about size choices but I recommend going out to a few bookstores with a ruler and taking notes. Chat with the staff and ask them what sizes work best on their shelves and sell best and what happens if you choose an "off" size.
