I am running Apache 2 in Linux and have several websites.

Say site A is in /var/www/a and there is a directory /var/www/a/foo/
and foo/ has 3 .html files but I only wish to serve index.html
so how do I protect the other files so that people can't fish for the
name to find them. Also how do I prevent visitors from browsing other
directories?
And what if I am using CSS and PHP how can I protect that also? I have
heard about .htaccess but I don't know how to set this up. Can I see
someone's file?

It looks like you have a lot of reading of the Apache documentation to do, to occupy your Christmas holidays.
Maybe forget .htaccess for now, and look at these :

Your basic page is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html
Look at :
Location
Directory
Files
DirectoryIndex
Options  (Indexes)
Allow
Deny

There are plenty of examples in the documentation, written by people who really know how Apache works. They have spent a lot of time writing the docs and the examples. The best way to get on the right path is to acknowledge their efforts, and make an effort yourself at reading the on-line documentation. All the answers to all your questions above are there.

Merry Christmas.
