1. The role of 'dot' to 'boy' shows how far away the Jews were to anyone or anywhere and that it would have taken a very long time for anyone such as Bruno to arrive at the camp. This represents that the Germans viewed the Jewish people as insignificant dots compared to themselves and everyone else and how much they didn't care and hated the Jews.
2. The effect is to show how both boys are so young while one is a Jewish boy trapped in a concentration camp awaiting death while the other is just another innocent German boy who is minding his own business. This also helps to show how the Nazis killed so many children of very young ages of nine years old.
3. Bruno and Shmuel argue about which is a nicer place to live: Germany (Berlin) or Poland, they also argue about where they actually are. Bruno decides to stop the argument because he does not want to fight with his new friend and he changes the conversation by telling him about exploration.
4. Bruno's last question reveals to Shmuel that he knows that they are different to each other in the way that they are dressed, where they come from and why they're on different sides of the fence. Shmuel probably thinks that Bruno is not very intelligent or smart to be able to see what is going on.
