A breaker is based on wire size, as the breaker protects the wire and not the load. This is a voltage drop question. A #3 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 60 amps for 110 feet on a 110 volt system.

What size breaker do you need for two 60W bulbes 110 volts?

It is not the number of bulbs that you worry about. It is the wire size that is your concern. If the circuit is wired with AWG 12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If it is wired with a AWG 14/2 wire then use a 15 amp breaker. You are protecting the wiring with the correct size breaker.

Can a 40 amp breaker not a 4 amp breaker be used to replace a 35 amp breaker for ac unit?

No, it is not recommended to replace a 35 amp breaker with a 40 amp breaker for an AC unit. Breakers are designed to protect the circuit and the equipment, so using a higher rated breaker can lead to overheating and potential damage. It is best to use the correct amperage rated breaker for the equipment.
