a very thin amount of vaporized metal
The atmospheric pressure is negligible.
Mercury's weak gravity and close proximity to the hot sun make it easy for gasses to escape.
That depends on when you consider a planet to be "really small." Mars is much smaller than Earth, but it still retains an atmosphere. Mercury, the smallest planet in the solar system, does not have an atmosphere, but it is also very close to the sun, which would tend to drive away atmospheric gasses.

Mercury has no atmosphere, however, there is a trace exosphere containing hydrogen, helium, and oxygen, that gets dynamically created and destroyed.
Because the gravitational pull of the planet isn't strong enough to hold any gasses.
On Mercury, a can would not be crushed due to gravity because the planet's gravity is too weak. However, the can could be crushed due to the high atmospheric pressure on Mercury, which is about 100 times greater than Earth's atmospheric pressure.
Mercury's close proximity to the sun has caused it to lose any real atmosphere or gasses it may have had long ago. It's all rock.
By volume, they are:Oxygen (42%), Sodium (29%),Hydrogen (22%),Helium (6%),rest (traces).
Mercury is a planet.
depends on which planet.
There are in fact 5 gasses you can choose from that are in Mercury's atmosphere. Oxygen, sodium, helium, potassium, and hydrogen.
