The internal resistance of an ideal voltmeter is infinity and the internal resistance of an ideal ammeter is zero. Ammeter is connected in series and voltmeter is connected in parallel with the electric appliance.

Depends on what it’s made of and how thick it is, but if it’s a standard copper wire, the answer is usually ‘negligible’.
Wires will have a listed ohms per unit length, which is usually so small that it can be safely ignored, or included as part of the resistance of the non-ideal voltage source.
