In order to properly size the wire per National Electric Code (NEC) standards you will need to know the amperage and the distance of the device (heater) from the source (circuit breaker panel). In order to know the amperage one would need to know the voltage since amperage changes inversely with voltage.
10 Amps. Amps=Watts/Volts
To calculate the amperage, you can use the formula: Amperage (A) = Watts (W) / Voltage (V). In this case, the heater draws 3500 watts and operates at 230 volts. So, the amperage will be approximately 15.22 amps.
Would be best not to ... especially if both, when turned on, will exceed the amperage rating of the breaker to which they are connected.

You should contact a certified, and licensed electrician.
yes
You need to mention the voltage and wattage of the device to get the right answer

To answer this question the voltage of the motor needs to be stated.
There are zero amps in a 6kW 3 phase heater. Amperage is the result of dividing the Watts by the Voltage. A = W/E. Without stating the voltage the heater operates on the amperage can not be calculated.
As heater motors age, they tend to draw more amps than they should. Yours is probably drawing too much amperage causing the switch to heat up. Remedy is to replace the heater motor and possibly the switch as the terminals get hot and oxidize.
Find the block heater and look for the nameplate on it. It will be in watts. Use the following equation to find the amperage that it draws. Amps = Watts/Volts. The voltage to use for the truck will be 12 volts.
The blower motor resistor is defective. They go bad when the blower motor pulls to much amperage.
