vitae/vita

Thank you so much Mister Micawber...

Please could you explain the difference between:

Enclosed herewith is my curriculum vitae

Enclosed herewith are my curriculum vitae

Enclosed herewith is my curriculum vita

As you will see from my curriculum vitae,

As you will see from my curriculum vita,

and...

Should a 4 page CV be a Resume instead?
