Is there a good way to measure the size of a page delivered to the browser?
Also, how do measure the size of Viewstate?

I am just using View Source, saving the text file and looking at the number
of kb in the Properties of the file.
Then I delete everything but the viewstate and measue it the same way.

1. Is it accurate?
2. Is there a better way? (I want to measure over 100 pages.)

It's not accurate if you include images, stylesheets, videos, et cetera. When you measure it that way, all you are measuring is the html of the single page that is being received.

To really view the # of bytes, you'll need an external tool, or addin, that would do this. Ethereal is one that comes to mind that shows you exactly, byte-to-byte of what is being sent and received between the two machines.
