A 4500 watt element will work on a 20 amp breaker if it operates at 220 volts or less. It will simply trip the breaker if the load is greater than 20 amps at 220 volts.

Have 110volt refrigerator on a 30 amp breaker is that right?
Check the MFG for the amps it uses, if it is suppose to be on a regular 20amp line, then replace the breaker with a 20amp breaker. With the 30amp breaker,it will work, but if there is a surge, you could send too much power to the appliance and fry it. Most refrigerators, are just on a regular 120v household outlet. Besides a 30amp breaker must have 10ga wire, if the wire is 12ga,it can not be attached to a 30amp breaker.
Can wall outlets be on a 15amp breaker in the bedroom or do they have to be 20amp?
Technically, they can be on a 15 amp breaker when you use 15 amp outlets. There is a difference. Be sure to check your local code (just call the city building department and tell them you have a code question). some cities require the bedroom outlets to be on an arc-fault breaker.

Have an electrician wire you a proper line for the appliance. You were just kidding about the 100A, right? 10, or 20amp, not 100.
How do you convert 110 volt 15 amp to 110 volt 20 amp?
I don't understand the question, but if you want to make the line into a 20amp instead of 15amp, you just install a 20amp breaker, but remember,the wire must be 12ga wire to be connected to a 20amp breaker.
