The answer is no. Or at least not necessarily. At least for projectivity. It is consistent that there is a vector space $V$ over $\Bbb F_2$ (or really any finite field) whose underlying set is amorphous, namely it cannot be partitioned into two infinite subsets. This vector space is not finitely generated, but every proper subspace has a finite dimension. Pick any such subspace $V'$ and consider $W=V/V'$. Then it is not very difficult to show that the following holds: 1. $W$ is a vector space whose underlying set is amorphous, and every proper subspace is finitely generated. But $|W|\neq|V|$. 2. There is no non-zero homomorphism from $W$ to $V$. 3. The natural quotient map is surjective from $V$ to $W$. So $W$ is not projective. This also gives an example of an exact sequence which doesn't split.
