Do ocean currents have force

No, because force isn't something you "have". You can have momentum, or velocity, or energy, or acceleration, but you can't "have" a force - you exert a force on something else. Ocean currents have momentum/kinetic energy, and so they do exert a force on the water around them, the air above them, and any other objects in them.

What is the difference between surface currents and deep currents?

Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.
