The difference between an estimate and an actual number is the difference between ideals and observations. For instance, You may think the time is 10:57, but in reality the probability of that is 0 due to the fact that time lies on a continuum. 10:57 is only an estimate; close enough for our purposes. The ideal: the actual time, is a theoretical ideal which we know must exist and be unique, but we can never know for certainty what it is.
It is your estimate minus the true value divided by the true value and multiplied by 100. So, % error = (estimate - actual) / actual * 100, in absolute value. For example, if you estimate that there are 90 jelly beans in a jar when there are actually 130 your percentage error is: (90-130)/130 * 100 = -40/130 * 100 = -0.308*100 = -30.8% After absolute value, the answer is simply 30.769, or 30.8%.
Then the measured value is larger than the actual value.
%error = (Actual value- Measured value) / actual value *100
An actual measurement is going to be more accurate than an estimate.
To determine if an estimate is an overestimate or an underestimate, compare the estimate to the actual value or a more accurate reference point. If the estimate is greater than the actual value, it's an overestimate; if it's less, then it's an underestimate. Additionally, consider the methods used for estimation—if they generally involve rounding up or using conservative assumptions, they may lean towards overestimation, while rounding down or being overly cautious may lead to underestimation.

Not necessarily. Book value is the basis of the item less accumulated depreciation. Book value is rarely the actual cash value of an item, any item. Book value has to do with accounting and taxes, not sales price or actual cash value.
An estimand is the target quantity that a statistical analysis aims to estimate, while an estimate is the actual value calculated from the data to approximate the estimand. The estimand is the ideal value we want to know, while the estimate is the best guess we can make based on the available data.

The difference between the Actual Value & Earned Value is the Project Cost Variance
Estimate: 40 Actual: 37.92
Estimate: 250 Actual: 249
Sometimes an actual count is too difficult, for example, at a rally. Furthermore, an estimate meets the requirements.
