What does 'Cuantos años tiene' mean in Spanish?

"cuando" means "when", don't mix it up with "cuanto" which means "how many"... You're probably looking for "how old are you", which is: "¿Cuántos años tiene?" (formal) "¿Cuántos años tienes?" (informal) "¿Cuántos años tienen?" (plural)

Why do Hispanics use buscastes or hablastes with the s on the end?

Hablastes and buscates are both conjugated on the 'old spanish' 2nd person singular; vos. verbs congugate on this person same way as they would do with 2nd person plural informal way 'vosotros' (Ustedes being the formal way), except that you take the last 'i' away in all cases using Pretérito Indefinido, Ej: Hablar-Buscar in Pretérito Indefinido (Past Simple) vosotros hablasteis - vos hablastes vosotros buscateis - vos buscastes (DETAILED GRAMMER USE ALERT- DO NOT READ UNLESS REALLY KEEN LOL) In regard with who uses what and where, well; Spanish would very rarely use Pretérito Indefinido (Past Simple) they would go for Pretérito Perfecto (Present Perfect) Ej: Spanish say; vosotros habeis hablado, instead of vosotros hablasteis. And this applies the other way arround for most of LA counries except that Latinos NEVER use the informal way of 2nd person plural, they ONLY use the formal one being 'ustedes'. Therefore a latino would say; ustedes hablaron instead of vosotros hablasteis. The use of 'vos' is nowadays exclusive for LA countries (Ranging from Argentina to Guatemala) and the reason for this is that 'vos' was the only 2nd person singular way Spanish used when conquering these countries, so after having changed to the modern way 'Tú' long time after that, some locals in LA never did so (mostly native american descendants), 'criollos' on the other hand did. In conclusion, present day latinos use both ways of informal 2nd person singular 'Tú' and 'vos' while spanish only use 'Tú.
