If I use finely ground tea will they completely spill through the holes? Or are they small enough?

It depends on the tea. I made a cup with very fine leaves and it was an issue. What I did was gently dunk the ball into a cup of warm water, or under the tap, to wet the leaves first. Then, let it sit on a dry saucer for a few minutes while your water boils. This causes the leaves to expand inside the ball and become far less prone to slipping thru the holes. I did get a few bits here and there, but just a trace.

how much loose tea does it hold?

This holds a standard 1 (one) teaspoon of loose tea, using a measure. If you try to fill more, that might spill.

What is the overall length of the product? I'm looking for something that I could use inside a typical stainless steel coffee/tea travel mug

The overall length of the OXO Twisting Tea Ball is 7 inches. Hope this information helps.

What is the ball made of? Does it contain any aluminum?

I think the whole thing (besides the plastic handle) is stainless steel, based on its description from all the sites I looked at.
