How do I measure my hand?

Length: wrist crease to tip of middle finger. Width: across the knuckles. "Small" is roughly under 7" long and 3.3" wide; "medium" is 7–7.9" long.

Is a smaller mouse really better, or just less stretchy?

Less stretchy IS better — finger extensors do less work, so your forearm tires less. A mouse you fit naturally is always more ergonomic than a "premium" mouse you have to claw.

Are gaming mice good for small hands?

Some — look at the Logitech G Pro X Superlight (125mm) or Razer Orochi V2. But productivity-focused compact mice usually beat them for all-day work because they have programmable side buttons and slower, more accurate scroll wheels.
