space dust, intersteller gases maybe?

Not even interstellar gas, more like the extreme edge of the atmosphere. That and some dust and rocket exhaust. It might be dustier around the moon. Cheesey?

i dont think he meant specifically next to earth so atmosphere wouldnt necessarily be in the vial.
if you got outside of the earths magnetosphere you would probably find trace amounts of gases...the density is something around 6 ions/cm^-3.
if you went out into deep space, way beyond the oort cloud, the density falls to something like 1 atom/cm^-3, so if you un- and re- sealed the vial in this area, you probably wouldnt find much at all, if anything.

correction* you wouldnt find anything we could measure yet.

Getting it back to earth also assumes that you are able to create something that can withstand that level of pressure difference. As for what you would find, probably nothing detectable, but still an interesting thought. It might be more interesting to somehow do the same but in the atmosphere of jupiter in several different locations.
Thats not neccesarily correct.
It all comes down to what you mean by "vacum". Using a standard rotary pump you can easily reach 1e-3 mBar (1/1000 000 of 1 atmosphere). However, using beter pumps, a good chamber etc. you can reac 1e-11 mBar, that is a much lower pressure than you would find anywhere in space.

Any glass vial would be able to withstand the pressure difference, since it will never exceed ~1 atmosphere. It's pretty easy to design a pressure vessel that can withstand thousands of atmospheres of pressure difference.
Everything has a price, especially in science. The cure for cancer shouldn't have a price, but it does, and it's absolutely prohibitive.
Idk, bringing up price concerns for a retorical question is kinda iffy.
But...
There are probably MUCH better ways to do this sort of analysis.
Like, mb some sort of a cosmic sieve? Bringing the vacuum back to space seems sort of pointless - if you actually DID find something bizzare, then it would obviously be justified, but you'd want to make sure you acually DID have something worth bringing back...
