What ammunition did they use in World War 2?
It was a VERY big war- so the answer depends on the the "they" is in your question. The US used 30-06 and 30 Carbine, the British used .303 Enfield, the Italians 6.5 and 7.35 Carcano, Germans 8mm Mauser, Russians 7.62x54R, and the Japanese 6.5 and 7.35 Arisaka. Ammo was a mix of full metal jacket, tracer, armor piecing and incendiary.
How many bullets do pistols hold?
Depends on the pistol. I have one that holds ONE cartridge, ones that hold 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 13 cartridges. There is no one answer, because there is no one pistol.
Can you fire 9mm in a hi point 380 acp?
Noop.
A 380 has a 9mm projectile, BUT, the typical 9mm Parabellum, or 9mm Luger have longer cases and develop much higher pressures.
A 9mm will not chamber like a 380 (in a weapon designed for a 380), the case will stick out about 2mm. In most pistols, this would prevent firing. In other pistols, the gun may still fire.
Now High Point pistols use BLOW BACK as their auto cycling system. This means that the recoil spring and the slide present enough resistance & inertia for the rearward force, to allow the projectile to leave the barrel before the case is ejected. These are BALANCED for a low-powered 380 ACP round.
Even if one could get the gun to fire with a 9mm Parabellum, the fact that 2mm of the case is unsupported, AND there will be 2-3 times the energy involved means there's a high likelihood of the gun having a catastrophic malfunction. The brass case will likely rupture and the slide will likely derail and be thrown backwards (towards the shooter's face).
Even IF one could fire successfully a few times, each time would weaken the barrel, the slide and the recoil spring. Which means the pistol could kaboom (blow up) any time, maybe after the 1st round, maybe after the 30th round.
Use the right ammunition for the gun and you will have nothing to worry about.
Is 5.56 NATO ammo the same as .308 caliber?
No, 5.56 mm NATO ammunition is .223 caliber (having been developed from the Remington .223--originally the Remington .222 Special). Ammunition of .308 caliber is 7.62 mm, a larger NATO round, common to the M1 rifle and the M60 machine gun. There were a number of NATO nations at the height of the cold war that used 7.62 ammo for infantry weapons, the HK (Heckler & Koch) G3--manufactured in Germany--was primary among these. The G3 is still in production and there are many variants still in use today by NATO troops and the armies of other nations.
Note that, while 5.56x45 ammo is dimensionally similar to .223 Remington, and 7.62x51 ammo is dimensionally similar to .308 Winchester, in both cases, the rounds are not entirely identical, and vary in areas such as neck angles. 5.56x45 ammunition should not be used in a dedicated .223 barrel.
What type of ammo does a santa fe model 1944 rifle use?
Assuming you have a Golden State Arms Santa Fe Model 1944 rifle here. Golden State Arms didn't manufacture rifles - they bought surplus military rifles, and sporterised them. What you have is PROBABLY a surplus Short Magazine Lee Enfield rifle, and would be chambered for the 7.7x56R cartridge, also known as the .303 British. However, if you're not certain about the calibre, then you need to take it to a gunsmith to have them measure out the chamber - not all of the Santa Fe rifles retained their original .303 cartridge, and, although less common, rifles converted to .308 Winchester and .45-70 are not unheard of.

Can I use 38 auto plus p ammo in a model 28 357 mag?
No. You can fire .38 Special (and .38 Special +P) in any .357 Magnum firearm, not .38 Auto. Do not attempt the reverse (firing .357 Magnum in a .38 Special firearm); the results will be disastrous.
The .38 Auto does not have a rim large enough to hold it in a revolver's chamber, and the bullet is most likely not the correct diameter.

Can you convert a 32 cal revolver into a 38 revolver?
No, because if you drilled out the .32 caliber chambers in the cylinder to try to fit the fatter .38 ammunition, you would make the holes touch each other or get so close that there would not be enough steel in between them to hold them together during firing. It would be unsafe and the gun could blow up in your hand. And you'd have to change the barrel, too, which would be a very difficult and expensive process. It's much better to just sell the .32 that you have now and use the money, plus some extra money of your own, to buy a .38 caliber.
