inasmuch as.and some other words.

Could someone explain me the use of the following words:

Inasmuch as. what is the proper use of this word, is it british, very formal, old fashioned word, or what. I really like this word.

Is it correct use the adjective wee instead of little: "What a wee girl" instead of "What a little girl"

Pithy but adequate: The word Pithy is a common word or is a formal world.

Can someone tell me when can I use the expression "Not a whit" or I have to use "Not at all" always.

Thank you ever so much for your reply!
