Jet is an airplane. Most modern planes have jet engines, so you can call them jets. little bitty (or itty bitty, which is the form I've heard of) mean very small. It's not formal language. It sounds a little silly to say it that way. If you said little bitty to me, I'd probably find it funny and laugh.
