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?

The air can hold a certain amount of water. That amount changes based on the air temperature. The percent humidity is the percent of water the air has already absorbed compared to what it can totally absorb. That percent can change as the temperature changes, even if the amount of water in the air stays the same.
