Can we see any planets from mercury?
Yes. You could probably see all of the planets that you see from Earth as well as Earth itself. You might also be able to see Uranus as well from the night side of Mercury. Uranus is generally too faint to be seen from Earth but Mercury, which would not be much farther away from than Earth is, has no atmosphere to distort or obscure light from the planet.

How many days on Mercury is equal to one day on Earth?
Mercury rotates once in about 59 Earth days. That is often called its "day". There's another definition of day called the "solar day". For Mercury that's 176 Earth days. So, you can see there's only a small fraction of a Mercury day in one Earth day.
