Unless you are thinking of the movie Armageddon, the asteroid that was reported in the media with a size of Texas is Apophis.However, as in most cases, the media managed to mislead the public, especially as the observed diameter is a mere 450 meters - much smaller than Texas, unless something has happen in the US that I'm not aware of!!!It seems that the original reports were misleading because scientists reported that it would devastate an area the size of Texas a slight difference between the amount of "collateral" damage and the original size of the object.
According to the US naval astronomical applications department the 3rd largest asteroid body is called 4 Vesta. Ref: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/asteroid_masses Actually, they do not know what the largest asteroid is since Pallas and Vesta both have been designated as the second largest asteroid after Ceres, which is no longer an asteroid. Since Ceres is a dwarf planet now, Pallas or Vesta is the largest now. Since Ceres is a dwarf planet, the third largest asteroid is Hygiea now. Pallas and Vesta are the top two largest asteroids now. Vesta is more massive than Pallas, though.

No one knows.
No telling. It could hit anywhere.
You don't. If a large enough asteroid is going to hit us that will destroy life on earth there is nothing that can be done. Hollywood story's to the contrary.

Mercury, Venus and Mars are all smaller than the Earth. If the question is referring to the US as in the US of A, then no planet is smaller.
