Yes, huminity does play some role in air resistance. If you stand in Denver and New Orlense and drop and object, it will just slightly hit the ground first in denver before in NO. Though mathmatically, i doesn't make a diffence and humidity is just a factor the math ignores. (higher percent error)

Yes, it does. But it's a fairly small effect and can usually be ignored.
