What’s the ratio of air to water at that percent? Is there a cap on the amount of moisture in the air? Is it the same for different elevations?

Sorry not ELI5, but here is the equation that answers this question:
h = 1e-2 * RH * p_vp / p
where:
h = fraction of air molecules that are H2O
RH = relative humidity, expressed as percentage
p_vp = vapor pressure of water (increases with ambient temperature)
p = ambient pressure
