What is a vara de tarea used for?

It is a historical unit from Spanish-speaking areas, primarily for measuring land and defining agricultural plot boundaries.

What does mil (thou) represent?

A mil, or thou, is one thousandth of an inch, commonly used to specify small thicknesses and clearances in manufacturing.

Why can vara de tarea conversion vary?

Because its length differed by locality and historical period, so accuracy depends on the specific regional vara standard used.
