There are 72 points in an inch. Point sizes are then relative to that measurement. The point size for a font is measured from the bottom of the lowest letter (i.e. lower case p or g) to the top of it's highest letter (i.e. l or d).

Pitch refers to the number of characters that fit in one inch linear space. Each character will have the same width (m will be the same width as an i).
