The distance east or west from the Prime Meridian is measured in degrees, with 360 degrees in a full circle representing the Earth's circumference. The Prime Meridian itself is set at 0 degrees longitude, so any location east of it will have a positive longitude value, while any location west of it will have a negative longitude value.
Since the earth is a sphere (ball), you can reach any place on earth by traveling in either direction from any other place. To reach any west longitude from the Prime Meridian, heading west is the shorter way. To reach any east longitude from the Prime Meridian, heading east is the shorter way.
All meridians of longitude have the same nominal length. However, at any given longitude, the meridian of 180° East longitude is the one farthest from the Prime Meridian. Perhaps that's what you had in mind.
The error for 55 degrees east latitude and 32 degrees south longitude depends on the specific context or measurement being considered. If referencing a specific location or coordinate system, a calculation using that information would be needed to determine the error accurately.
170 degrees east is located in the Eastern Hemisphere. This longitude is just west of the International Date Line, which is at 180 degrees. Therefore, any location east of this line, including 170 degrees east, is classified as being in the Eastern Hemisphere.
That's near Limulunga in western Zambia. Not really any cities there.
That's in the middle of the Indian Ocean, near the Maldives. Not really any cities there.

There are countless cities both east and west of the prime meridian, which is defined as 0 degrees longitude. Every point on Earth has a longitude value that places it either east or west of the prime meridian.
All meridians of longitude have the same nominal length. However, at any given longitude, the meridian of 180° East longitude is the one farthest from the Prime Meridian. Perhaps that's what you had in mind.

That's near Zeget in Liberia. Not really any cities there.
170 degrees east is located in the Eastern Hemisphere. This longitude is just west of the International Date Line, which is at 180 degrees. Therefore, any location east of this line, including 170 degrees east, is classified as being in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Every "line" of constant longitude joins the north and south poles, so the lines "run" north and south. Longitude numbers range from zero to 180 degrees east and from zero 180 degrees west. So all together, there are 360 degrees of longitude, which is exactly what you need if you want to use longitude to measure any place all around the Earth.
That point is not in any country. It's in the Philippine Sea, about 330 miles east-northeast of Camiguin Island.
That point is in northern Botswana. Note that it's not possible for the whole country to be located right there at those coordinates, and that any other point in Botswana has different latitude and/or longitude.
