You know the old saying: "If you have to ask..."! If you're asking this question, you should probably be calling an electrician. The answer to your question depends upon what you are trying to power up. This will determine what size wire you will need and therefore, the size of the circuit needed.

Why are you not getting 240v between the two hot wires?
Because they are "in-phase". In order to get 240v, you need two 120v Alternating Current lines that are 180° out of phase, that is, opposite phases. Only when one line is +120v and the other -120v will you see 240v between the wires.
How do you install a fuel pump on a 1990 Isuzu pickup?

Can you plug two appliances a 120v and a 110v on the same line which is a 110v?
Should be ok provided you do not draw too much current.
What is a safe distance between 110V electrical wire and coax cable when installing inside drywall?
