Just curious about something. Is there a relationship between "gauge"
and linear measure such as inches or centimeters? Is the diameter of a
14-gauge wire the same thickness as 14-gauge metal sheet?

No, as Vic says, wire and thickness "gage" measurements are different
scales. To make it even more interesting, there are differing gage
scales as well (at least six in my Perry's).
