I would like to know if there is any particular method to know abt the thickness of the composite before curing. How do you calculate the amt of materials for getting a required thickness in Resin Infusion ?

Or just measure thickness of fabric stack with some calipers and reasonable clamping force. Will get you close. Double check with resin density and fibre density and expected volume fraction. Will get you close as well.

Stack which includes mesh, peel ply....right?

Well no, if you aim for 3mm of glass i personally would use about 3mm of glass...
