Absolutely not. Mass and weight are two entirely different things. Every object has a mass which is a measure of the amount of matter that it contains. It is a property of the object and is essentially a constant. I say essentially because radioactive decay (and fusion is stars) can alter the mass of an object by converting some mass into energy or the other way around.
Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of how that mass is affected by gravitational attraction. On the surface of the earth, a mass of one kilogram will have a weight of approximately 9.8 Newtons, but on the moon, the same kilogram will have a mass of only a sixth as much because the moon's gravity is so much weaker. On a neutron star, on the other hand, the same kilogram mass, would weight about 200 billion times as much as on earth. In outer space, it could be weightless.

weight and mass measures the volume
Mass and weight are two different things. It does not make sense to ask which is more accurate. Mass is used to measure an object's ability to resist a force. f = ma, or m = f/a. Weight is used to measure an object's force applied due to gravity. Measured in newtons, f = ma, or newtons = kilograms time 9.81 meters per second squared.
To measure weight, a scale. To measure mass, a balance.
Weight is a measure of the gravitational pull for a mass , such that a mass of 1 Kg is having a weight of 10 Newton . So weight is a downward force measured in Newtons . Weight ( in N ) = Mass ( in Kg ) × Gravity ( usually 10N/Kg )
While mass can be a measure of weight in day to day use (ie The box weighed 15 kg) technically it is actually a measure of how much gravitational force an object exerts. This is how the term mass is used in physics.

weight and mass measures the volume
Technically... not really. It would perhaps be more accurate to use the terms formula mass and molecular mass rather than formula weight and molecular weight. This because in physical terms, weight is a force while mass is a measure of the amount of substance in something.

No, it is a measure of weight, there is a difference (Mass is mass, weight is the force exerted by your mass being pulled down by gravity)
Weight is the term for the mass times the acceleration. To measure that, you multiply the mass times the acceleration

-- An easy way is to put a known mass on a bathroom scale, weigh it, and divide its weight by its mass. -- A more complicated but more accurate way, for which you don't even need a known mass, is to build a pendulum, measure its length, then measure its period.
Weight is a measure of the action of gravity on a mass.
