Is the same amount of coffee used regardless of the desired cup size? Will the 12 oz cup be weak compared to a 6 oz cup?

I wouldn't say the larger cups taste noticeably weaker though.
Some of the holiday blends have been pretty tasty.

What Dave said, regardless of cup size selected the machine uses one K-Cup.
I prefer strong coffee (read not-watery) and I brew on the 8 ounce size mostly.
With the K-Cups I use I can also brew on the 12 ounce size and it is NOT watery at all, still very good. (Jet-Fuel, Black Tiger, Sumatra, etc)
But with some K-cups, like Breakfast Blend or ones like that, the 12 ounce is too weak for me. If I am brewing for my large travel mug (20 oz) I will brew twice, both times on 8 ounce.
It's really about selecting the right brew for the cup size.
