1991 BA is the closest and smallest asteroid yet observed outside the Earth's atmosphere. Reference.
Mercury is not a part of the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Mercury is far closer to the sun.
No. An asteroid can be anything from 10 metres to 487km as in the case of Ceres the largest asteroid.

None. Even the smallest planets are larger than the largest asteroids.
An asteroid is a rocky object in space. It may be a broken part of a planet. The smallest observed asteroids are 10 meters in size . There may be many asteroids smaller than this but they can not be detected yet and also have not been observed yet.
The biggest object in our solar system is the Sun, while the smallest object is likely a moon or asteroid, such as Deimos or Phobos, which are the smallest moons of Mars.
Ceres is the smallest dwarf planet in the solar system.
Yes, Ceres is the largest asteroid in our Solar System, comprising approximately one-third of the total mass of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It was classified as a dwarf planet in 2006 due to its spherical shape and planetary features.
