I have some sheet music that show the note dot a little smaller than the rest. Does it mean something when the dot is smaller? Adding links will help a lot.

Nope that doesn't make a difference, it's only when the dot is after the note, increasing it by half. I've seen smaller or bigger notation and it might look weird but doesn't indicate anything.
Stacato is indicated by dots above the note.

Is the note smaller? Is there a repeat or a chorus in the music? Sometimes if a note is only played the second time through to allow an extra word the note will be smaller.

an x dictates a double sharp, which means raise the note 2 half steps, or a whole step. For example, if you are in C major and have an f natural with an X next to it, you would raise it two half steps. The first half step would be a f# and the second would take it up to a G. Thus, fx is played G double sharps are usually used to avoid needing to change the key signature or use many more accidentals. One example of this is when an fx is used at the very beginning of Tchaikovsky's fifth symphony, fourth movement

It might be a grace note. Almost like stacato but a little faster.

Is it right on top of or right below the larger note? If so, its likely the harmony line.

maybe it's because of the words in the music... if you're using sheets with words... it's because they kinda repeat the line again and maybe the next line has more syllables than the other line, so the little note is for the next verse of music... i dunno... that's what's in my sheet music for a song by kelly clarkson...

I agree; it's probably a grace note. :)
