If a pinch is a measurement used in cooking, then inch would also be somewhat similar given that it's also a type of measurement.

however, "Give you a pinch" could mean that this is more of a give and take scenario between two people, which would possiby refer to either chefs or irish characters, due to "giving a pinch" being a tradition for Saint Patrick's Day (for some odd reason)

Maybe an irish Chef? But then there's the whole "but you'd still take an inch", which bothers me.

Or, alternatively, there's this interesting thing of note from Wikipedia:

"A pinch in cooking (pn) is an amount of an ingredient, typically salt, sugar, or spice."

If we go by this, sugar/spice would make sense since ERB were talking about wanting to use Ben and Jerry, who are "chefs" and make "sugar", possibly including Milton Hershey.

There's a single theory I have about the "you'd still take an inch" thing, which may be that it's a teacher/student thing. One character gives the other person a bit of help, and the other one inches towards their goal a bit faster, meaning they would "still take an inch".

I know Milton Hershey and Gordon Ramsay both had several people influenced by them, so I have concluded that the possibility will possibly be one of these two things:

Milton Hershey vs Ben and Jerry

or

Ramsay vs Chef

those are my thoughts.
