What is mean by third person plural noun?
Hi, you seem to be mixing up more than one concept.
"Third person plural" is the form of a verb that goes with "they" - e.g. third person singular "he goes", third person plural "they go".
A plural noun is the form of a noun that denotes more than one, e.g. "ball" becomes "balls".
There is no situation that I can think of where the noun of a sentence would be affected by the subject being third person plural.
Suffixes can change adjectives to adverbs yes or no?
Yes, suffixes can change adjectives to adverbs by modifying the word to describe how something is done, such as adding "ly" to the adjective "quick" to form the adverb "quickly."
Is it proper grammar to say 'Andrew's house'?
If you mean "the house of Andrew" then yes, it's more than proper; it's perfect.
However if you meant the home of the Andrews family then it wouldn't be so good; it would be 'the Andrews's house'.
Interestingly (if you're a bit sad like me) there is an argument about if a noun ends in 's' like Andrews is it necessary to add on another 's' i.e Andrews's. I think the best thing to do is keep your text consistent. i.e don't mix things up as that will confuse the reader. Personally, I've never liked adding the extra 's' to the end of my name.
As a last bit of advice, read the possessives you write carefully. Sometimes using 'of' might sound better, sometimes it might not. In your example, Andrew's house sounds great but the Government's business doesn't sound to good (to me anyway) whereas the business of the Government sounds much better.
Would you use me or I in this sentence I was going to get a picture of Kaeleah and?
You would use 'me' in this case. You use 'I' when you are the subject of the sentence, and 'me' when you are the object of the sentence or the phrase, as in this case.
Subject of sentence: I was going to get a picture.
Object of phrase: I was going to get a picture of Kaeleah and me.
Object of sentence: It was Kaeleah andme in the picture.

When do you use the word too and when do you use the word to?
Too is a word meaning excessive or excessively, . For example, too much, too many, too large, too heavy. It can also be used as an alternative to "also" or "as well," e.g. "He is very tall, and handsome, too" and "I want to go too."
To is a preposition, a bridge word to a location or some end. For example "Let's go to the park" and "I like talking to you" ('you' being the end instead of a physical location like a park). This particular word can get a little confusing when you get to phrases like, "He's coming to", meaning the subject is waking up, "arriving" into consciousness, which is classified as a location.
"To" also creates the infinitive or name form of verbs, such as to do, to be, to go.
Is him an indirect object or a direct object?
The Dative and Accusative forms of the pronoun are identical. Him may be a direct object - Shoot him! - or an indirect object - Give him the book.
Him is direct object
Clarification: In English vocabulary, the difference between the direct object and the indirect object form is insignificant; they are the same word.
There are only two forms of personal pronouns in English: subjective and objective:
I/me, you/you, he/him, she/her, it/it, we/us, they/them.
(Note that the expressions "dative" and "accusative" do no apply to English grammar. English and Dutch are derived from Old LOW German and have lost the noun-declension feature--the "case system". Germanic languages derived from Old HIGH German still maintain an elaborate case system, as do the slavic languages, Latin, and others.)

In other cases, such as coordinating conjunctions joining independent clauses, a comma before "and" is typically used.
