If there is a 120hz buzz then there is a ground loop between the computer and the passport. You need to get a ground isolator to go between the two. If the buzz is deeper the may be a audio ground off or the hum is comming from the power supply

Could a bad cable connection make a fuse blow in my fender passport 250, or cuase any problemmwith ouput from my speakers...?

A shorted speaker cable could cause this... however, what you do is to replace the fuse BUT wire a 150 Watt lamp in series with the power input... This acts as a resetable fuse for testing. If the lamp stays lit, you still have a failure.

APX900: Feedback at seemingly normal playing volumes. I've had this problem playing both indoors and at outdoor venues. I use a Fender Passport 250 sound system and run my guitar through a Digitech...

Make sure the passport speakers are NOT where the guitar can hear them... they need to be toward the audience from where you are. Also do NOT boost the high end frequencies with the EQ. That guitar probably has a hot pickup subject to ambient sound. Beyond this, you might have to use one of the feedback destroyers. If you are using monitors, take the guitar out of them.

What's the best way to connect a PC (with DJ software) to a Fender PAssport 500 PRO (I want stereo input)?

Best way is to use a 1/8 TRS (stereo) to 1/4 TRS (stereo) cable from the PC into the Stereo 1/4 inch jacks right below the RCA stereo input jacks.

TRS stands for tip-ring-sleeve which means the jacks have the extra "ring" over a mono jack.

I want to connect a keyboard to the Fender Passport 500watt

Plug your keyboard into a line input. Run a cable from the stereo out put jack into a separate amplifier with a speaker e.g. a self contained powered monitor.

Fender Passport makes loud chirpping knocking sound after on for only 5 10 minutes

I have one that is doing the exact same thing. It's at a Fender
Authorized Service Center now. Hopefully dude can find the
problem. Fender says there is a 5 year warranty on it, so I
expect them to make good on their promise. Did you get
yours fixed?

LOW VOLUME FROM RIGHT CHANNEL OF STEREO 1 SIDE OF SYSTEM

It seems like the speaker jack tip needs cleaning, or the contact has become bent away from the connector and needs to be re-aligned.  The Passport is a portable system, so after years of plugging and unplugging the speaker jacks may be worn.  Try using the "Stereo 2" connectors. You can also try cleaning the jack with electrical contact cleaner, and. a cotton swab.
