Why do 2-way light switches have no ground terminal?
The circuit is grounded within the recepticle box. There is no need to ground the actual switch. == == This is normally seen in older switch boxes with older devices. new devices are required to have a separate ground just for the device. Grounding a device through a receptacle box no longer meets code. The new code state that both the box and device must be separately grounded. I would recommend replacing the switch with a new one that has a grounding screw. The reasoning for this is twofold. First, grounding through a box to a device is notoriously unreliable and secondly when the device is pulled out of the box by a service person the device loses its ground thus causing a safety issue.

Where can you purchase a wall plate for a four-light switch in a square since this is not a standard switch plate?
If you are talking about a typical 4"x4" box, you can use a pair of combination dual switches (they have the same shape as a standard receptacle, so you could use a plate made for a double duplex receptacle...see for the type of switch I had in mind) .

Will my electrician need to run new wire from the outlet to the circuit breaker to change from a 50 amp to a 60 amp outlet?
Maybe not. Since there is no wire with a rating of 50 amps exactly there may be 60 amp wire already installed. Range's use a #8 wire with 50 amp range receptacle for its circuit. If the wire that is installed now is # 6, that is good for 65 amps, then no wire needs to be changed. The only 60 amp receptacle that will be allowed on the 60 amp cable is a three pole four wire grounding 125/250 volt device. The number will be 14-60R. There is a three phase rated receptacle in the three pole four wire grounding type. It is a 15-60R.
