The energy of the entire system is constant -- there is no energy coming in or going out of the system.

Doesn't that mean that the mass of the entire system is constant?

The net energy is not zero because relative to one object, the other is moving rather fast.
Net energy change.

As something falls down a gravity well, does it gain mass?
