No. The early systems of measurement were not as accurate as those I use today.
The systems of measurement I use today are substantially more accurate than the

What is 7 cm to the nearest 10th of a centimeter?
Impossible to say. What you have is a measurement in whole centimeters. Those are bigger than tenths of centimeters. A less accurate measurement. And you can't make a more accurate measurement out of a less accurate one. The other way is fine though. Measured with tenths, anything between 6.6 - 7.4 cm could be written as 7 cm according to the laws of rounding.
Can observation be accurate but not precise?
Accuracy, precision, repeatability and so on are terms that have been closely defined for measurement purpose. By folk such as ASTM. and ISO.The true value is the value towards which a large number of different measurements (by different measurement teams, using different measuring systems ... ..) tends.The accuracy of a particular method or measurement is how closely that answer comes to the True Value.The precision of a measurement represents the confidence you have in the measurement. (Generally by making several measurements.)The resolution of a measurement is merely the number of figures in your answer. A number with many places would have greater resolution, but many of those numbers might be meaningless.So, a single measurement of the height of a mountain for example, might be correct, (true value) but you don't necessarily have reason to be confident of the answer.

How does conversion of units from metric to English system affect the level of accuracy of a certain measure?
When done correctly, conversion of units will have no effect on the level of accuracy of a particular measurement. However, there are times when the converted measure is rounded to a whole or half unit in the new system of measure, and in those cases the accuracy of the measurement is reduces.
