Applesnail.net is a huge resource all about them, including care sheets, feeding information, etc., but in answer to your questions..

Depending on genetics, diet and living space, they can grow to the size of a baseball. They probably can start breeding when about 1" in diameter, assuming you have at least one male and one female (Apple Snails are not like most other snails which are hermaphrodites... apple snails are sexed either male or female).
