Yes, exactly 0.05 em.

It depends on the browser default character size. The default is 1 em = 16px, which I think gives 1.1 em == 1.05em == 17px in the standard setting.

If you have people who can't see it all well and use the default large (say 72px = 1em) then the difference will be noticeable (difference = 0.05 * 72 = 3 or 4 px). Although this is not remarkable for a person with poor eyesight.

In Safari, I saw a tiny difference between 1.1em and 1.05em, but I had to use page zoom to see it :)

I'd say this is implementation dependent, but remember that 1em is the current font size and 1.05 can be rounded anyway ...

Well, yes, these are different meanings. You probably won't notice any difference unless the base size is large enough, although most browsers will only round it up. But they are certainly different.
