The size of the star is not as important as the class of the star. A star like the Sun which is classified Gv2, yellow dwarf, has a life span of about 10 to 12 billion years. The Sun is now 4.6 billion years old, which makes the Sun middle aged.

Alpha Centuari B is an Orange Dwarf about the same size as our sun, but is a Kv5 Star, has a life span of 15 to 30 billion years.

How big is a 50 million year old star in the sky?

The size of a star does not change significantly over a span of 50 million years unless it is in a different stage of its life cycle. The size of a star in the sky is relative to its distance from Earth; so a 50 million year old star could appear as a tiny point of light or, if it is a particularly large star, it could be visibly larger in the sky.
