you should ask a scholar in your locality or a recognised website such as sunnipath.com and/or islam-qa.com

wa alaikum salaam

spitting doesnt invalidate your fast, although gathering spit in the mouth in order to quench thirst shouldnt be done....

you can still have a bath and do wudhu whilst fasting, but just rinse the mouth thoroughly instead of gargling, out of fear that water may go down the throat.

you are excused from fasting if you are extremely ill, but you have to give a kaffarah, a compensation....

i dont know the answer to the rest, please consult a learned scholar :)

wa alaikumsalaam

spitting does not invalidate ur fast.

looking at women does not invalid ur fast, but if u fear Allah u should lower ur gaze. touching them accidently or speaking to the opposite sex too does not invalidate ur fast.

on having a bath, care should be taken that water does not enter the nose, mouth and ears.

if u are ill i think you will be the only one knowing, IS IT REALLY that much that u cant fast! ie like having a flu or cold or some minor illness which is totally dependable on the individuals immune system. unless its some illness that really needs medication to be taken as prescribed by a doctor.

u its fard to break the fast before performing maghrib salaah.

ur rewards for fasting is with Allah.
As Allah says for every atom of good you do will be rewarded and for every atom of bad there will penalty. We can only but make taubah in the hope that we will be forgiven.

the best of advice would be if ur are searching for knowledge brother, is to go to place where u can learn or from someone who can teach u with tafsir from quran. Is there no islamic teacher in ur surrounding area or madrassa?

Wa Alaikum Salam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

does spitting invalidate your fast?

No.

does looking at women(twice or with desire) invalidates your fast? how about speaking to them or even touching them? (accidently)

No, but looking with desire is a sin which should be avoided at all costs. Have taqwa.

what's the ruling on having a bath?

Be careful that no water enters your throat if you wash your nose or mouth.

are u excused from fasting if you are ill?

Yes, if you fear keeping your fast will make the illness more severe. If you miss days because of an illness, they must be made up. If you have questions about this, you should ask a knowledgeable sheikh.

Is it permissible to pray the maghrib first then to brake the fast?

Yes, but it is recommended to at least drink a couple mouthfulls of water or eat something very small if your going to do that because Rasulullah (sallAllahu alaihi wa salam) commanded us to hasten (hurry) to break our fast and to delay eating suhur. It is NOT fard to break your fast before praying Salatul Maghrib but it is highly disliked (makrooh) not to.

does ramadan cancel you manor or major sins?

Insha'Allah ta'ala, if you complete Ramadan with sincerity and pure intention.
