I have an intermittant problem where the car stalls out while driving and the power windows stop working

Check the wire connection at the starter and make certain they are tight as the power supply to engine and accessories is picked up there at the solenoid. Check the engine ground strap as well.

It is hard to turn as if the power steering is low for the 1999 pntiac bonneville SE and I need to know where the power steering is so i can check the power steering level

If you look under the hood look where the belts are. A compotent that the belts drive or turn is your power steering pump, when you find it you will see a cap that you can remove and check your fluid. Also with the problem you describe check the belt and the tension of the belt. Fluid level and belt tension are the most common causes of power steering failure. The power steering cap will be marked to make it easier to find.
