I believe the default size is 10 pt. This can  be altered (11 or 12 pt
I think) - under the document menu, the set of options below the one
where you chose the document class book (settings? Sorry not on home
machine - hence no current lyx access)

For article the top level heading is a section (well I think you can
have a part too but..)
For book the top level is chapter, and if you convert straight from
article to book you are missing chapter 1.
