For third base, typically, you want a larger infield glove like 11.5 or 11.75. The ball gets on you faster there than shortstop or second, and there are times when as a third baseman, your job is to just knock a ball down, or get a glove on it, so a larger infield glove is more ideal for this.

EzraI'm a high school third baseman and I use an 11 1/2 inch glove. I would say 12 inches is the largest you would want to go, and 11 would be fine. 11 1/2 is optimal for someone with a normal sized hand -- they can get the ball out fast enough and the ball shouldn't bounce around inside of it.
Ive played third base my hole life and just recently bought a bigger mitt...12 3/4 and i love it. I guess its just preference.
I can't give you the exact size when I haven't been able to measure his hands. Maybe you could e-mail me the measurements and I can suggest some to try. It also depends on the feel and brand. So, I should be able to tell by looking at a pic or something like that.
The position doesn't affect the size glove you need.
A glove size varies depending on your hand the sizes are your hand size.
The size is referring to the part you put your hand inside. If you want to purchase a glove i advise you go to a store and try them on to make sure your hand fits inside. Make sure it fits comfortably. =)

About a 12in glove will do fine, i use a 14" but i feel it is too big. you have to be able to get the ball out quick, and you dont want the glove so big that you cant close it completly.
dependes on which league you are in if you are in 11-12 league then 12 to 13in.
It depends on the age. Younger girls use a 10 inch glove, older girls use at least a 12 inch glove.
