I'm looking at creating a web app in portal azure but I came across this option. Create Web App + Database.

My question is if I select the DB engine to be SQL Azure. How big is the database?

Also, what's the difference between the Basic and Standard hosting plans?

Thanks in advance.

How big is the database?

The SQLAzure option refers to the Serverless Azure SQL Database offering. Source

Like most of Azure's managed SQL offerings, it scales up based on how much data you throw at it over time, but it appears the limit for storage is 2TB. Source

Also, what's the difference between the Basic and Standard hosting plans?

This is pretty explicitly addressed on the App Service Pricing page. Among other differences, the Standard plan comes with more disk space for your app and supports auto-scaling of the underlying resources.
