If you want to rescale polygons using particle sizes, that's tricky, but to apply the same size from another cloud with the same pointcount, you can use "ID to Location", feed it your external pointcloud with the size animated, then feed it "Get Point ID" to the ID and out comes a location. >From said location, get "Size" and use it in your current cloud.
