The general term for piston is cylinder, and a cylinder might be made to work in this application. But a cylinder used in this manner, that is, a cylindrical shape connected in a machine that is used in the same way will almost certainly be called a piston by most investigators.

If the area of piston 1 is half the area of piston 2 does it require half the newtons of force to lift an object?

No, the force required to lift an object is not directly proportional to the area of the piston. If the area of piston 1 is half the area of piston 2, it would not require half the force to lift an object. Force is dependent on pressure, which is equal to force divided by area.
