Answer 1

Es bajito. Es más bien bajito (de baja estatura).

Answer 2

'he is a little on the short side'

You can also say "(Él) es un poco chaparro." This is used in Mexico and possibly not in all countries. Also to be completely correctly translated especially outside of Mexico, someone "chaparro" would be both short and stocky.

Answer 3

Es un poco bajito for male bajita if refferring to a female.
