There doesn't seem to be a universal constant. It seems that it really depends on the country. The countries in the Kingdom of the Netherlands are way less like countries than individual states in the USA, and the provinces of Canada have been more autonomous than the countries of the UK for the longest time (arguably now with each country getting a parliament a constitution in the early 2000s they're more autonomous)

Traditionally muslim monarchs didn't call themselves king. Because It was seen as a direct challenge to the rule of the caliph. Also because every ruler ruled by the permission and leave of the caliph. This was either accepted nominally in case the ruler was far from the domain of the caliph or was accepted by force in case the ruler was near the domain of the caliph.

Nope, Sheikh is not a legal title given to Imams or Muftis in the Gulf. Sheikh has deffirent meanings depending on the context; its actual meaning in Arabic is Elder. So, an Arab tribal leader is a Sheikh euivlant to a Chief, and if the Sheikh is a Monarch like in the Emirates; then they are equivlant to a Grand Duke; howver, if they have both titles of Sheikh and Emir like in Qatar and Kuwait then they are equivlant to a Prince.
