Are the planets further away larger?

Some are, but the furthest from the sun, Pluto, is also the smallest.

The four innermost planets are considerably smaller than the four outermost, but the correlation of distance and size is not perfect. Earth is the largest of the first four planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, even though Earth is number three. Jupiter is the largest of all, even though it is the first of the remaining four; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Pluto isn't a planet anymore, so you could say that

Why do planets further from the sun take longer to orbit?

Planets further from the sun have larger orbits, which means they have to travel a greater distance in their orbit. Since they are farther away, the gravitational force from the sun is weaker, causing them to move slower in their orbit. This combination of a greater distance to travel and slower speed results in longer orbital periods for these planets.

The planets appear smaller than the sun because they are much smaller in size compared to the sun. Even though they may be further away, it is primarily their smaller size that makes them look smaller in the sky.
