How do you ad and extra switch and light to the same 2 by 4 box?
There are multiple ways to wire a switch. If power is fed into the switch box, a second light would be wired one way, if power is fed into the light box, the second light would be wired a different way. This seems like it would be a task better given to a qualified electrician or local handyman.

If the heater fan doesn't work and all fuses are good as is the blower motor relay what's the problem with the heater fan?
Motors do go bad. Directly wiring the fan to a 12 volt power source will tell you if the motor is toast. If it won't work when directly wired to a power source, look for another motor.

How do you know if you have a series circuit or parallel?
A series circuit will be wired from the power source at the positive input of the first device, the second device will receive power from the output of the first device and then go back to ground. A parallel circuit is wired so that both devices receive power from the power source directly to the positive input and both are wired directly to ground.

Can a 4800 watt water heater run on a double pole 15 amp breaker?
Current in amps = watts/ voltage in volts. If you have a 240 volt supply, it will draw 4800/240 = 20 amps, so no. This is a very powerful water heater, and would normally be wired into a dedicated circuit, presumably with a 30 amp breaker.
