An “instance” here being just a walled-off process running inside its own chroot environment. IIRC Lemmy needs 4: frontend, backend, database and imagestore. It doesn’t need much resources when running, though.

How much data throughput does it use in a typical month? My home connection is heavily metered because I live in a failed state with regulatory capture.

That massively depends on how many groups you subscribe to. I'm running my local instance for slightly over 6 months now, have subscribed to around 30 groups/communities/subs and my local storage shows 2.7GB in the pictrs directory and 2.8GB in the Postgres directory.
