A light controlled by a switch are necessarily wired in "series", meaning that the electricity must pass through all components if the circuit is to operate correctly, assuming you actually have a source of electricity wired in as well.

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.

You have three 3-way switches operating 3 ceiling lights you want each switch to operate each single light What do you do?

To have each switch operate a single light, a 3-way switch must be installed for each light. Each switch needs to be wired to its respective light, with one wire running between the switch and light fixture. This way, each switch will control the light it's connected to independently of the others.
