In relationship to its plane of orbit around the sun, the planet Mercury's axis is virtually perpendicular. However, it has been determined that its axis is very, very slightly tilted from the perpendicular, by about 2.11′ ± 0.1′

i.e. 2.11 minutes, plus or minus 0.1 of a minute.

(A 'minute' in this context of angular measurement is one 60th of a a degree)

How many degrees is the earths axis tilted perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic?

Approximately 23°. As a matter of interest, the Tropics of Cancer and capricorn are 23° from the Equator, these representing the most northerly/southerly points on the Earth where the Sun can be directly overhead. This is due to that tilt of the earth.

How many degrees is the earth's axis tilted from the line that is perpendicular to the earth's plane of orbit around the sun?

The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees from the line perpendicular to the Earth's plane of orbit around the Sun. This tilt is the reason for the changing seasons on Earth as different regions receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
