What dimension is the vector [0,0,0] in? For example, I know that vector [o] is in dimension zero, but would [0,0,0] be in that too? Or, is it classified as being in R3 since there are three components?

No, this is a vector in R, which can be considered a vector space of dimension 1. Every vector in this space, including the zero vector, has a dimension of 1.
