Hex Digits Fixed31 and part of the next

An IPv6 /127 fixes the first 127 of 128 bits. That does not fall on a hex-digit boundary, so blocks are harder to read at a glance; nibble-aligned prefixes (multiples of 4) are preferred.

IPv6 has no broadcast address, so every address in the block can be used, but networks with hosts on them should be /64 so SLAAC and neighbour discovery work as designed.

Questions

How many /64s are in a /127?
None: a /127 is smaller than a /64.
How many addresses are in an IPv6 /127?
2.
What size IPv6 block should a hosting provider give each VM?
A /64 per VM is the cleanest: the customer can use any addresses inside it, and abuse handling and reverse DNS work per /64. A single /128 also works but some software expects a /64.

Every address on your network, watched

Frabs maps each IP to the VM that owns it and stops the abuse coming from it, on Proxmox, Virtualizor, VirtFusion and SolusVM.
