The range, inter-quartile range (IQR), mean absolute deviation [from the mean], variance and standard deviation are some of the many measures of variability.
range
It tells you how much variability there is in the data. A small standard deviation (SD) shows that the data are all very close to the mean whereas a large SD indicates a lot of variability around the mean. Of course, the variability, as measured by the SD, can be reduced simply by using a larger measurement scale!

Repeatabilityis the variability of the measurements obtained by one person whilemeasuring the same item repeatedly.Reproducibilityis the variability of the measurement system caused bydifferences in operator behavior. Mathematically, it is the variability of the averagevalues obtained by several operators while measuring the same item.

No, it does not
Variability is an indicationof how widely spread or closely clustered the data valuesnare. Range, minimum and maximum values, and clusters in the distribution give some indication of variability.

The answer will depend on what the question actually is!
The usual measures of variability cannot.
The degree to which rainfall amounts vary across an area or over time is called 'rainfall variability'. It has two components viz. saptial variability and temporal variability.
