How deep was the focus of the Haiti earthquake?
Assuming that you are referring to the earthquake that occured in January 2010, the focus or hypocentre (the point within the Earth where the rupture actually occurred) was located at a depth of 13 km below the surface. Please see the related question for further information.

What are the main features of an earthquakes?
An earthquake is a vibration of the Earth produced by a rapid release of energy . The main features include the focus, the location within the Earth where the earthquake rupture starts, and the epicenter, the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus. Also the fault which is the fracture in the earth. And seismic waves which are waves of energy created when plates suddenly move. These cause the ground to shake.
What do you call splits in the earth's crust?
Rupture or fault.
What is the location on the earth's surface directly above the epicenter called?
You have confused the term epicentre with hypocentre (or focus), whereby the focus is the point within the earth where the earthquake rupture occurs and the epicentre is the point on the surface directly above this.
