Is cable pattern pike a knit?

No, it is woven. The cables and braids look like hand knitting, but the fabric does not stretch like a knit.

What is the difference between waffle and honeycomb?

Waffle has fairly large square cells. Honeycomb has small, close cells and a finer texture; it is often used for baby coverlets.

Raised weaves can shrink in the first wash. Ask for the shrinkage rate before cutting.

Is there a standard coverlet size?

Coverlet sizes vary by brand. Put your finished size in the enquiry.
