Q: 8. Can this be used with the Olympus OMD-EM5 mk II?

Q: 10. Once I have the number on the ruler, how do I compute the micro adjustments on my canon 5d MK IV?

A: In your camera's menu, find the AF Microadjustment settings and adjust the numbers to compensate for the front-focusing or back-focusing of your lens. Essentially, it's most accurate if you go back and forth between testing on the Vello LENS-2020 and adjusting (throughout the range of the lens if it's a zoom) in order to make sure your lens isn't front/back focusing.
