Mercury
What type of barometer was invented first the aneroid or the mercury?

Maybe you mean what does a mercury barometer measure. In which case the answer is atmospheric pressure.
How can an aneroid barometer give reading in inches of mercury when it doesn't use any mercury?
Good question.Look at it like this if you had two barometers side by side, one a mercury barometer and the other a barometer that reacted to changes in air pressure using some bellows and a spring.Then, as the pressure changed you marked the second barometer positions and noted on the dial the inches reading from the mercury barometer, the second barometer measurement scale would mimic the real mercury barometer even though it did not actually use any mercury.
Why does Mercury stay in the barometer?
A barometer is a closed-system vacuum that allows the mercury to expand with changes in temperature and pressure.
