Do I need ETIAS to visit the Vatican or San Marino?
You reach both through Italy, so meeting Italy's Schengen entry rules — including ETIAS where required — covers your trip.

No. It is a pre-travel authorisation for visa-exempt nationals on short stays, not a substitute for an Italian visa.
How long is it valid?
Up to three years or until your passport expires, for multiple short stays.
What's the total cost?
