There aren't really ANY satellites that are "proportional" to the planet. Satellites range in size from very tiny to almost-planet-sized. The only really surprising moon is Earth's Moon, which is far larger, compared to the planet, than any other that we know of. However, if we include dwarf planets, then Charon a moon of Pluto is actually the largest compared to it's "parent" planet.

Why is it necessary to know the distance to a planet in order to determine the planet's mass?

There is something missing from the question. The planet must have a moon. The only way to measure the mass of a planet is by using data about a moon orbiting the planet or data about the path of a spacecraft passing or going into orbit around the planet. If you know the distance to a planet then you can work out the moon's distance from the planet. The planet's mass can then be found. It's a bit of trigonometry and Newton's version of Kepler's Third Law. So that's the reason that it is necessary to know the distance to the planet.
