There's really no solid answer to that, as frames can be designed with several different wheel sizes in mind. I'd suggest that you either bring the frame to a shop, have them take a look at it. Or that you borrow a wheel of someone, pop it in and see if the brakes line up.

If you haven't got brakes mounted, it all gets awkward. For a frame meant for caliper brakes, you can measure the distance between brake mount and where the wheel axle will sit. Subtract the "reach" listed for a couple of caliper brakes and you'll be able to guesstimate the wheel size.

Fofr a frame meant for cantilever brakes it's harder. I've never seen reach for cantis printed, so it'd be harder to tell what'd work.

The fuel filter is located in a bracket bolted to the frame behind the right hand rear wheel. It can be seen with the wheel on but to repace it you will need to remove the wheel.

Can you have two brakes on one bike wheel?

All bikes have 2 brake pads, one one each side of the rim. There is no need for two different brakes on one wheel. I guess it could work, though. You would need to drill a new hole in the frame for the second brake but if you want to try it, go for it!

Can we fit gears in a normal cycle?

Yes you can. But it might take some doing. You'd need to match the hub width of the geared wheel to the dropout width of the frame. Best chance is probably through an internally geared hub. And you'd need cable stops to go on the frame. Wraparound ones are available. If you want a wheel with external gears you'd probably need to spread AKA cold set the frame to take a wider hub. That's doable, but it takes some skill, and can only be safely done on steel frames.
