Where is hot water tank located in home?
There are a number of factors that determine where the plumbing contractor decides to install it. If it is a gas heater, it needs to be located where it can be vented to the outside. Typically the heater should be as centrally located as possible to facilitate hot water getting to all of the fixtures it is attached to. They will attempt to minimize the length of the piping runs. Takes less piping and less work to install.
How do you get more quantity hot water from your hot water heater?
Install a bigger water heater. This would only be efficient if you had a constant need for an increased volume and could bear the added cost of installing, operating and maintaining a larger heater. Or increase the temperature on the water heater so you use less to get warm water. This also has its practical limits, where water could be delivered to the faucet at a dangerous temperature (over 130 F), unless properly controlled. Or install another water heater in parallel, giving you twice as much hot water before it starts getting cool. Larger facilities may have three or more heaters in parallel and another one in series for pre-heating the supply to the others.

Why would the hot water pressure on the second floor be much less than the cold water?
My guess is that the hot water heater is installed downstream from a pressure reducer to limit the maximum water pressure that the water heater is exposed to.
Why are you running out out hot water in the shower?
The water heater may be filling with sediment making it harder for the water to heat and less volume of water available.
