Answer 2

Uhhh is it round?

That kinda sounds like an orb weaver but I couldn't tell you with out a pic.

Google that, if it is then its not but don't mess with them either they get rid of bugs!

Answer 3

Everyone has a different idea of what "really big" means, but I'll take a guess that it may be a St. Andrew's Cross Spider, (Argiope aurantia). They aren't harmful to humans, and pretty much keep to themselves.

Here are some pic's:
