Equal text height, but I would point out that I didn't actually do a comparison - I have just used both devices for the same thing (not at the same size with the same document), and found the text 'appeared easier to read at the same size' on the iPod.

That i really couldn't tell you, as I used neither in low light.
The iPod seems a bit vauge with backlighting sometimes, especially with some of the jailbreak stuff.
