So here's the question: In a novel, do all chapters need to have the same length? Thanks... :D :D :D

Nope. Compare Stephen King and Tamara Pierce and James Patterson.

Also, in any given book, you can have a huge variety of chapter lengths. And chapter lengths are some of the last things you worry about. Just write the thing first, and work on little things like that right before you're ready to send out to a publisher.
A writer is a world trapped in a person— Victor Hugo

Ink is blood. Paper is bandages. The wounded press books to their heart to know they're not alone.
