For metric it is a 0.30mm wide silk screen ring around the copper outline.
For imperial it is 10mil wide silk screen ring around the copper outline.

The space from the copper is just some approximation of slightly over
10mils because that seems to fit what most vendors like.

The hole diameters are based more on the historical data than actual
rules. I have become kind of obsessed with screw sizes ever since I
found a device at work (still manufactured) that uses a pre WWII
Japanese screw thread. All of which means that you are probably going
to have a hard time finding patterns.

Metric screws were fast to standardize head diameters but imperial
stuff still has not fully. (Yet another way Jimmy Carter was right, we
should have gone metric in the USA)
