than if I sold it privately via ads in the newspaper? And how much in comparison to if I sold it to a dealership?
If I sell my car via online auction, should I expect to sell it for significantly less (cont. in details)?

There is no easy answer to this. It depends on many factors such as make, model, mileage, condition, pricing, etc.
Dealer – You will always get the least because they never pay Blue Book. They instead use Black Book which is based on auction prices. But sale is instant.
Newspaper – Will get the largest exposure but if not priced right no one will be interested to call. Can take days, weeks or months to get a potential buyer. I remember this one seller who kept dropping the price like $500 each week cause no one would call. Went from $10k to $7k. Dont know if he finally sold it or not.
eBay – You can sell fast by using no-reserve auction starting at $1. You have to sell to the highest bidder no matter what the bid is. I sold my car this way and I ended getting $1000 more than I had advertised on Craigslist. I spent a lot of time posting 30 pictures and lots of descriptions. Bidders love that.

Usually, but not always.
Its hard to compare without knowing the price range of the car you are talking about but Kelly Blue book lists 3 prices. Trade in, Private party and retail. There are HUGE differences in prices.
