'Der Fragebogen' (questionnaire) consists of 'Frage-' (from 'die Frage' — the question) and 'der Bogen' (a sheet of paper). So literally, it is a sheet of paper with questions. The '-n-' is a linking n that connects the two parts of the word.
Der Fragebogen hatte insgesamt fünf Seiten.
The questionnaire had five pages in total.
The most important verb in connection with a questionnaire is 'ausfüllen' (to fill out). Other common verbs are 'erstellen' (to create), 'auswerten' (to evaluate/analyze), 'bekommen' (to receive), and 'abgeben' (to hand in).

form
Both words refer to documents used to collect information. A „Formular“ typically contains fields for structured information, while a „Fragebogen“ mainly consists of questions used to survey people. For a registration, you fill out a „Formular“; for a survey, you answer a „Fragebogen“.
