No.

You can't just "add" watts, electrics just don't work that way.

For a resistive load, you can get more watts by increasing the voltage, which'll increase the current flow. And as volts times amps = watts, that would sort of work. Trouble is, most stuff is only rated for a certain volts/amps range. Go outsisde this, and thigns are prone to overload, overheat, and plain and simple fail.

In a parallel circuit adding more bulbs will increase?

It will decrease the effective load resistance across the power supply terminals, increase the total current through the load, and increase the total power required to be supplied by the power supply.


What happens to the current if the number of bulbs stays the same but you use more cells?

If you add more cells in series with the bulbs, the current will increase as the voltage across the bulbs increases. If you add more cells in parallel with the bulbs, the current will stay the same because the voltage of the cells does not increase when they are added in parallel.
