My water heater used to heat plenty of how water but now it only heats enough water for one 10 minute shower. What causes this?

It sounds like one of the elements inside the water tank is not working. There are two electric elements in and average size water tank. One at the bottom and one at the top. These two elements cycle between each other but only one is on at any given time when calling for hot water. Water that comes into a HWT looks like it comes into the top but there is a pipe inside the tank that delivers the water to the bottom. When the tank thermostat senses the cold water, power is applied to the elements, be it the top one or the bottom one. Because you have enough hot water for a shower I would guess that the top element is working but the bottom is not. The incoming cold water is not getting heated. When the top element is hot enough it should switch to the bottom element to start heating the water in the bottom of the tank. Sounds like this is not happening.

Why would the heater in a '94 Ford Escort not get very warm could it be a direct problem of the thermostat?
Yes. If the thermostat is not staying closed long enough for the engine to warm up adequately, you will not get heated coolant into the heater core and the heater will not blow warm air. Change the thermostat for a 195 and you should get plenty of heat. It could also be as simple as not having enough coolant. worst case senerio would be a bad heater core.
