Impeachment is only the first step toward removing a President from office. Impeachment by the House (like a grand jury indictment) is followed by a trial in Senate and conviction by the Senate is required in order to force the president out of office. Impeachment requires only a simple majority, but conviction requires that two-thirds of the voting Senators vote to convict.
An action taken by Congress to reverse a presidential veto is called a veto override. It requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate to pass legislation into law despite the President's objection.
No, appointments are approved by the Senate; not the House of Representatives.

Most presidential appointments, including federal judges, cabinet members and ambassadors, require a simple majority vote of the Senate. Mid-term appointments of vice presidents require a simple majority vote of both Houses of Congress, and treaties require a two-thirds majority vote of the Senate.
If the president vetos a bill it requires a 2/3 vote from the senate to override the veto. Since the senate doesn't normally have a two thirds majority of one party it generally wont be overridden because most parties vote along their party lines.
