A haiku concerns nature. A sonnet concerns love. This is simply the subject of each type of poem, and both are very broad ideas. In this sense, a haiku isn't limited any more than a sonnet is, simply by its focus.

Not always. Length does contribute to the range of possibilities but only slightly, really. Besides: a good poet can fit more meaning and emotion into a three-line poem than a poor poet can in a 50-line poem.
