In decreasing mass order: neutrons, protons, electrons. Neutrons are only very slightly more massive than protons; both of them are much more massive than electrons.

I would think that they are roughly of the same size, though you can hardly speak of 'size' being so imaginable small.

Do protons and neutrons have nearly the same mass?

No, the proton and neutron don't have the same mass. A neutron is about 1.00138 times as heavy as a proton. The neutron is just a bit bigger, as you can see, and when a free neutron decays, it releases a proton and an electron. It might be said that a proton plus an electron equals a neutron, but you might not be able to get a physicist to say that. Links can be found below for more information.
