If my opponent plays a card to increase province, then I play untouched lands then I play a card to reduce province strength what is the outcome. Is this the same outcome if the play order of the first two cards Is reversed?

Province strength is calculated the same way as other stats. Add up all bonuses and penalties, then apply any minimums and maximums. In this case any number of effects can be played that will increase or reduce the Province's strength, in any order, but will never go above its Printed value.
