What do you call a 375ml bottle?

That size in the US is sometimes referred to as a "pint" and a 200 ml bottle is called a "half-pint", because once upon a time, liquor actually was sold in US pints, fifths, quarts, and half-gallons. Liquor in the US has been sold in metric-sized bottles since 1980. Same size in Canada is sometimes called a "mickey".

Thereof, how much is in a fifth of liquor?

These days most bottles are 750 ml, which is close to 1/5 of a gallon. A gallon contains 128 fluid ounces. So a fifth (1/5) or 750ml contains a tad more than 25 oz, or 25 one-ounce shots. Of course, many use 1 ½ ounce for a standard shot which is around 16 shots.
