and what gas produces? limestone & vinegar/ glacial acetic acid

Both, vinegar is a solution of acetic acid in water. The gas that will be formed is carbon dioxide.
CaCO3 + 2 CH3COOH --> Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O + CO2

The chemical equation is:
2 CH3COOH + CaCO3 -> (CH3COO)2Ca + CO2 +H2O
Glacial acetic acid is just a very concentrated from of vinegar so the chemistry is the same. Glacial acetic acid will react much faster and may cause a hole in the limestone.
From the equation you can see that carbon dioxide gas is produced.

Both can. Glacial acetic acid is 100% acetic acid. Vinegar is a 5% solution of acetic acid in water. The gas is CO2.

You probably need some water in there to give it decent starting kinetics. Hydrochloric acid would be much faster.
