There was much more food back then, so they ate more and grew.
Not all dinosaurs were huge. Many were quite small. It is believed that during the Mesozoic, earth was at its highest point of life sustaining ability. The high oxygen levels allowed truly massive animals to evolve.

Yes (WITH A BIG MAYBE ATTACHED) The difference between certain therapod dinosaurs and birds is very small. Every feature we use to describe birds (beak, feathers, wings) first evolved on dinosaurs. In fact the morphology between birds and the raptor family of therapod dinosaurs is so similar many scientists to call birds avian dinosaurs.
