Error bars from one measurement do not apply to other, independent, measurements. You are guessing about a subject you have not adequately studied, and it shows.

Shorter than what and what do you believe to be the relevance?

Kepler (two body, no one): T(m) = 2pi sqrt(a^3/G(M+m)); Approximation: T(m) =~ 2pi sqrt(a^3/GM)(1 - 0.5 m/M) = T(0)*(1 - 0.5 m/M); T(0) > T(m); Mercury-Sun: m/M = 1/600000 > 0. For one orbit: da = 2pi * 0.5 m/M = pi/6000000; 100 years = 415 orbits: da = 415pi/6000000 = 44.8 arcsecs. Anomalous orbit precession? Only optical effect - illusion (true sun position is delayed in time, more than mercury).
