How do you tell what gauge wire you have in your house?
The wire sheathing itself is usually marked. e.g. 14 CU 2 or 14/2 CU will indicate 14 gauge 2-wire (+ ground) copper (CU being the symbol for copper on the periodic table). For 15amp circuits you will likely has 14 gauge wire with most of that being 14/2 (Usually white, black, and bare copper).
What size breaker do you need for two 60W bulbes 110 volts?
It is not the number of bulbs that you worry about. It is the wire size that is your concern. If the circuit is wired with AWG 12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If it is wired with a AWG 14/2 wire then use a 15 amp breaker. You are protecting the wiring with the correct size breaker.

What best breaker rating for 1.5 hp air con unit?
The breaker you use is determined by the size of the wire in the wall not by what is being connected to that circuit. If you have 14/2 wire then use a 15 amp breaker. If you have 12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. The breaker protects the wiring not the item connected.
