You cannot, unless you use different names for them. Once you executequestionshook,labelwidthwill be-labelsep(whatever value the latter may have), and after you executepartshook,labelwidthwill be8mm. It can't be both at the same time. You can, of course, save those values in a different register, say,partlabelwidthandquestionlabelwidth, and then use these in the document.

You cannot have one length register hold two different values. Once you execute questionshook, labelwidth will be -labelsep (whatever value the latter may have), and after you execute partshook, labelwidth will be 8mm. It can't be both at the same time.
What you can do, is save those values in a different register, say, partlabelwidth and questionlabelwidth, and then use these names in the document.
In the MWE below I defined four new length registers, partlabelsep, partlabelwidth, questionlabelsep, and questionlabelwidth. Then, inside a group, I used partshook to make the part values active, and then copied them to the new registers using globalsetcounter, and then the same to questionshook. Beware that some values are not initialised in questionshook, so the order here matters!
When you have those values, you can use the mighty the to print their value:
documentclassexam
usepackageverbatim
renewcommandquestionshook%
setlengthleftmargin0pt%
setlengthlabelwidth-labelsep%
renewcommandpartshook%

@Diaa Yes, the way they are defined there they just change the value of some registers. About converting units, there's this question, with a few nice answers. If you don't mind loadingexpl3then you can usedim_to_decimal_in_unit:nn3.1415pt1mm. If neither of these is good for you, you can definedefconvertunit#1#2strip@ptdimexpr1pt*numberdimexpr(#1)relax/numberdimexpr(1#2)relaxrelax #2, and thenconvertunit3.1415ptmm.convertunitlabelsepmmwill also work.

@PhelypeOleinik How to differentiate between that of question and the other of part?

You cannot, unless you use different names for them. Once you execute
questionshook,labelwidthwill be-labelsep(whatever value the latter may have), and after you executepartshook,labelwidthwill be8mm. It can't be both at the same time. You can, of course, save those values in a different register, say,partlabelwidthandquestionlabelwidth, and then use these in the document.– Phelype Oleinik

@PhelypeOleinik I would be grateful if you could edit my MWE to show me how to preserve and print the values of both length registers without overwriting each other.
