Within the Run If: section of an active link I have 'Value Length' > 4)
where 'Value Length' is an integer field.

Within the Run If: section of an active link I have 'Value Length' > "4")
where 'Value Length' is a character field.

Should these expressions yield the exact same results all the time?

No,

If you use chars
"39"<"4"
because it uses the ASCII order to compare,
it only works if tthe valuse is in the ramge 0 - 9.
