Answer 1

Cuadro means a "frame" or a "square". It can also mean something that is in effect a border that surrounds something, but it should not be confused with la cuadra, as in a city block. It also is used in the theatre as something that defines the acts of a play. It doesn´t really mean "a painting", but we commonly use the word this way.

Pintura is "paint" and is the proper word for "painting."

As I understand it, cuadro could refer to any kind of picture whereas pintura is a painting
