No. As long as the battery is a 12 volt battery the physical size of the battery does not matter. It can have 300 CCA or 600 CCA. It will still start the engine and will not damage the starter. The reason there are different sizes is so the fit in the battery space snugly and the battery post are oriented properly.

Not really as long as you have the correct size 12 volt battery the CCA rating will not effect the batteries initial ability to start the engine. It may not be able to turn the engine over as long as a higher rated battery but it will start the engine if all is as it should be. A sluggish start sounds like you may have a starter going bad.
