It is called a pyx.
Pyx is a metal box or vessel in which the Blessed Sacrament is kept or carried. The term is more aptly applied to the small round metal case (usually gold-plated) used to carry a few hosts for the sick. A larger container used to store Hosts in the Tabernacle may also be called a pyx, but ciborium is the more common term for that. - extracted from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S. J.
The container that is used to carry the host to the sick or shut-ins is called a pyx.Roman Catholic AnswerThat depends on which "container" you are talking about. The pyx is used for a few Hosts to be brought to the sick, a luna holds a single large Host to be put in a monstrance or ostensorium for adoration and/or benediction; a tabernacle is used to respose a number of Hosts between Masses for Communion for the Sick, or Communion outside of Mass, etc. A ciborium holds a number of Hosts to be distributed for Holy Communion, a paten is a saucerlike dish, usually of gold, to hold a Host during Mass. Those are the usual containers that would normally be used for a Host.
The container that holds unconsecrated hosts is called a "paten." A paten is typically a small, flat plate made of metal or other suitable materials used in Christian liturgy to hold the bread before it is consecrated during the Eucharist. It is distinct from the chalice, which holds the wine.
Roman Catholic AnswerThat is kind of difficult to answer without more information. If he is just carrying a single large Host in a Luna, then it would called a Monstrance. If he is carrying a gold looking chalice or tub like affair with a lot of Hosts in it, then it is a Ciborium. If it is a small pocket watch looking affair with only a few Hosts for Communion for the sick, then it is a Pyx.

No, small amounts of liquids do not fill a large container. The volume of the liquid stays the same, regardless of the size of the container it is placed in.
Get a scale appropriate for the amount you wish to weigh. Get a container to put the small objects (screws) in. Weigh the container while it is empty, many modern digital scales allow you to "Zero" the scale with your container on it making for an easy short cut. Write down the weight of the container. Put your screws in the container and weigh the container and the screws. Subtract the weight of the container
