Yes, the Moon does alter in size to an Earth based observer. This is a real effect caused by the fact that the Moon's orbit round the Earth is not a perfect circle but rather it is an ellipse. The elliptical orbit brings the Moon nearer to the Earth at Perihelion and takes it further away at Aphelion thus at Aphelion it is smaller to the eye than at Perihelion. The Moon also APPEARS to be bigger to the eye when it is close to the horizon this is called the Moon illusion. The link I will place below explains this.
Because the mass of the planet - its weight and size - create different degrees of gravity.
Larger size seems to equal more moons. Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune are larger than Mars, and they have many more moons.
As of October 2023, Saturn has 83 confirmed moons. The largest of these is Titan, which is even larger than the planet Mercury. Saturn's moons vary widely in size and characteristics, with some being icy bodies while others are rocky. The number of moons may continue to change as new discoveries are made and further observations are conducted.
Jupiter has the most moons in our solar system, with at least 79 known moons. Some of its well-known moons include Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These moons vary in size, composition, and characteristics.
As of now, 82 moons of Saturn have been discovered. These moons range in size from larger bodies like Titan and Rhea to smaller irregularly shaped moons.

In terms of radius, Mars is about half the size of the Earth. It also has two moons called Phobos and Deimos
No planet! However, Venus has no moons and is not much smaller than Earth.
12 moons but two are the same size as Pluto.

yes
Both moons and suns, vary so widely in size that it's impossible to answer this. Very roughly a million Earths fit into our sun. The moon is 1/6 the size of Earth. Therefore, 6 million moons fit in the sun,
Mercury is the planet that is one quarter the size of Earth and has no moons. It is the smallest planet in our solar system and is the closest planet to the Sun.
