What you have there is a British ring sizer. They use letters instead of numbers!

Was this with his other jewelry items?  What are the dimensions of them?

Jeweler's vise with bubble level.  These were needed to work on watches.  Might try looking for Jewelers watch or clock makers vise.

Yes It is a ring ruler(?). It is used by jewellers to measure the size of the fingers/rings.
