The smallest in Ti is a Boker Zeta, played with one before, awesom little knife 2.125in sintered titanium blade. They also make the same sized knife with a ceramic blade.
As far as S30V goes The Spyderco Native (def the cheapest if not smallest) and the Chris Reeve Small Sebenza (very expensive) or Mnandi are the smallest I know of, but you never know with what some custom makers could be doing?

smallest s30v blade I know of is the Snody Activator by Benchmade. Blade is 2.1'' long, .14 thick. Nice carbon fiber handle, okay leather sheath. I own one and enjoy it, but I don't get enough use out of it which is a shame.

The smallest S30V knives I know about are the Simonich Biterrot, and the Shivworks Little Loco. The Simonich may be hard to get, but the Shivworks is available here: http://www.shivworks.com/loco.asp

Chris Reeve Mnandi, and Small Sebenza are smallish, and have the two materials. I think William Henry has some smaller knives with Ti handles, but I'm not sure if they're using S30V yet.
Now, a really small folder with Ti handles, and the not-to-be-snubbed VG-10 steel is the A. G. Russell Ultimate Pen Knife. It's tiny.
The Titanium Police necklace from Spyderco is even smaller, and ATS-34 is nothing to sneeze at.
I think Protech made some very small Ti handled California legal switchblades, and they use decent steel. I think they made the Stinger with Ti, and the Runt II.
That's about it, as far as I can think of. Custom makers could give you unlimited possibilities.

I'm guessing about 5/16" (edit 3/8) thick without the clip. I have to check mine later to be more exact. Someone else will probably beat me to it.
Be aware that there is the 440 version and the S30V version which are the same design. You can tell the difference by the price.
Edit: from my own post a while ago, when I did measure it.
Tim Wegner Mouse II:

(3" by 1 3/8" and 3/8" thick (without clip)) (closed)
The clip protrudes about 3/16 - 1/4", I bent mine out a bit, very tight at first.
Clip can go on either side or removed completely, tip up only.
