A:
Generally "to" is a preposition unless it's part of an infinitive verb. Occasionally "to" is an adverb, but it definitely isn't here.
It's not really helpful to think about "to" by itself here, because it's part of an idiomatic phrase.
"accurately to within X" = "accurate with a margin of error of X in either direction"
So, if you use a ruler that is "accurate to within .05m," and you get a measurement of 1.73m, the actual measurement is in the range of 1.68m-1.78m
