Answer 2

The equator is the 'zero' of latitude, so the smaller the latitude number is,

the closer it is to the equator.

There's no such thing as the 'smallest'. You can name any latitude you want,

and no matter how small it is, I can always name a smaller one.

The equator is an imaginary line which encircles the planet. Any co-ordinate infinitesimally north or south of this would be the closest without being on the equator. Co-ordinates are usually given in degrees or parts thereof. The smallest practical unit is a second of arc. To uniquely identify a place the longitude would also need to be given, once again in degrees or fractions of a degree east or west.

It therefore follows that there are many co-ordinates which are equally close to the equator.
