I am building a woodworking shop in my basement and would like to install a second service panel. I currently have 200 amp service with only one open circuit breaker in this panel.?

You will need two available spaces in your existing 200 amp service in order to add a second panel. You may be able to free up an additional space by simply relocating an existing circuit in your 200 amp panel to your new second panel. You should be able to find a few good options especially if you have unfinished basement space or equipment, gas furnace, basement lighting, etc. Try to relocate the smallest available circuit to conserve the available power of your new panel for the equipment you want to add to your wood shop. You may also explore the options of changing existing breakers in your 200 amp main panel to "half-size" breakers. Caution must be used if this is done. Only use breakers specifically listed and accepted for use in your panel and do not change multiwire circuits, i.e. 3 or 4 wire circuits "sharing" a neutral conductor.

No, a residential condo does not require a main breaker in each unit. Typically, the main breaker is located in the electrical room or utility room of the building, and it controls the power supply to all the units.

Technically, they can be on a 15 amp breaker when you use 15 amp outlets. There is a difference. Be sure to check your local code (just call the city building department and tell them you have a code question). some cities require the bedroom outlets to be on an arc-fault breaker.
If your circuit breaker popped and will not go back what should you do?
first be sure to reset the breaker handle to the off position. When a breaker trips the handle goes to a neutral position. After resetting the handle turn it tothe on position. If it trips again there is a short in the circuit. Find out which outlets are not workingand unplug anything that is currently plugged in to the outlets. Reset the breaker and turn it to the on position,if it trips again call a qualified electrician.
