Which is bigger: Brunei or Trinidad and Tobago?

Brunei is larger (5,765 km²) — about 1.1 times the size of Trinidad and Tobago (5,130 km²).

Why do Brunei and Trinidad and Tobago look different on the map than in reality?

The common Mercator projection enlarges areas the farther they lie from the equator, so the on-map size proportions of Brunei and Trinidad and Tobago are distorted compared to their true land area.
