1. It's "vernier", not "varnier".
2. It's "caliper", not "calliper".
3. It depends on the specific example, but probably in the 3rd or 4th decimal place.

Here's a good definition:

"Instrument least count: The size of the smallest division on a scale. For the main scale on the common vernier caliper this is probably 0.1 cm. With the vernier scale the least count might be 0.002 cm."
