No, the size is fine, but i don’t know why you’re frying and then cooking in the sauce…
I usually either slow cook them directly in the sauce or fry them in a lot more oil (olive oil tastes better, but it tends to burn faster, sunflower seed oil is better if you have to fry a lot)

There is never “too big” with Polpette. There’s only “too few”. Really if they are good and properly cooked the only risk is to make many little polpettone, but I cannot see any downside on this.

Size is whatever you prefer. I find “golf ball” size perfect for me, but some like them smaller, others prefer bigger.

To an Italian yes, 1/2 to 1 inch, to everyone else bigger is better.
