Does time for like a bacteria more faster than are time? and time for like the whole universe move slower.

Time is relative to the speed of an object through SPACETIME, not just the speed of an object.
Thus, objects which are moving quickly travel at a "slower speed" than objects that are "sitting still."
Additionally, objects in the presence of large gravitational fields experience slower speeds for the same reason. While they are "sitting still" they are still "moving" through spacetime due to the deformation of the nearby mass that is the "source" of the gravity.
Thus, if a larger object has more MASS (and/or positive energy, actually) it will have more impact on the local gravity, and portions of it may experience a slowing effect in time that would not occur if the object had less mass. I'm hesitant to make a generalization about this, but I want to make sure it's appreciated. The presence of mass (and/or energy) will have an impact on time. If size is proportional to mass, then size will have an impact on time as well.
(but, in general, there's nothing specifically related to size and time's motion)

Don't know, but it sure gets faster the older you get!
