Can you connect 2 wire to 3 wire house has black white red and ground Appliance has black white and ground?
It seems like you are describing the Red, Black, White and Ground in your electric panel. There is 240 VAC between Black and Red and 120 VAC between Black and White and 120 VAC between Red and White. The electric panel has two busses that supply 120 VAC on alternating breakers in your panel. Essentially, the Red turns into "black" in the panel for all practical purposes. If you have a 240 VAC circuit it essentially takes up to two vertical positions in your electric panel.

Can you connect a 3 wire 120 Volt with ground to a 2 wire House wire has black and white and ground Appliance has black red white and ground?
To answer this question fully the type of appliance has to be stated and its voltage.
How do you hook up ele plug in wires coming in to house the plug has white black and ground wires and the wire from the house has white black red and ground hooked to a 30amp fuse?
You will have to check to make sure. Normally, with 4 wires, the black and red are both power for 220. White for neutral and bare for ground. If you are only using one leg of it, you would use the black, white, bare ones and cap the red one. Someone may have used the 4 strand because they had it or 220 was planned but not done or both the red and black are hot. You should be able to tell in the panel. Do the red and black both connect to separate breakers or to one or is the red not connected?
How do you wire a three wire 220v for dryer White to white but where does black and ground go?
If the cable you are trying to connect the dryer up to only has a white, black and ground wire, then the dryer is not going to work. The cable needs to be a three wire, the ground wire is never counted when discussing house wiring. Open up the electrical access panel on the back of the dryer. You will see a terminal block. A red and black and white connect to this terminal strip. The "hot" wires are connected to the outside terminals. The neutral (white) wire will be in the center. Connect the ground wire to the frame of the dryer. It is very important that this ground wire be connected as this is the wire that carries the fault current to trip the breaker should a fault arise.
How do you hook up outside light fixture that has black white green to house wiring with only black and white?
If your house wiring is encased in armoured (metal) sheathing back to the panel, then you can secure the green ground to the ground screw in the box. Make sure the armoured cable connector is tight on the box. This should ground the light back to the panel. If you are on "knob & tube" I would suggest thinking about re-wiring the house.
Why does a light turn when you place black to black and white to ground wire?
You don't say "turn off" or turn on". Light should be connected black to black and white to white and ground to ground. If you connect white to ground it will work, but you are then using the ground wire for an unintended purpose. Neutral is bonded to Ground at the panel. Current on ground wire could cause ground loops and may cause GFCI to trip if you have them in your house.

Do you have to Connect both fixture and house ground wires?
If you're asking whether you have to connect the fixture ground to the house ground, you do. The idea is to connect any exposed portion of a metal fixture to ground, keeping anything you would be able to touch from having a hazardous potential on it. The way to do this is to connect the fixture ground (which is connected to the metal chassis) to the building ground (which comes from your electrical panel).
