How many fan plugins do most motherboards have , i cant seem to find where it shows how many?

Do all fans take the same plugin? 80mm , 120mm , cpu fan?

Depends on the motherboard as far as how many fan plugins you have on your motherboard. Your motherboard's documentation will be your best bet there (if you don't have the documentation you can usually download it)

Yes, those come right off the power supply and you can buy adapters for them to hook up the fans.

Most new fans use a 3 or 4 pin connector but will have a molex adapter included in the box. Some motherboards have 3 or 4 pin connectors on the motherboard and you will be able to plug them right in. If you run out of connectors on your motherboard use the molex adapters. You can buy molex to molex adapters to increase the number of molex connectors on your power supply.
