how many extenders would i need if my modem on first floor, and i want to extend the signal to second floor.?

First you never want to daisy chain extenders. Each time you do your service speed is cut and you will eventually not have any usable service. Extenders should be placed half way between your router and where you want service. If multiple extenders are being used they should be installed in opposite directions. If one extender does not work for you, you would want to look at AV1000 or higher Powerline adapter kits.

Does this work with Mac/Apple products?

Yes, it will work. It is not limited to any operating system.

It extends WiFi signal to them.

Is it easy to have the extender have the same ssid as your router?

Yes it is. Having the same SSID makes it easier for connecting, but isn’t the best setup. If it has the same SSID, the signals will conflict, when roaming it will stay connected to the first one it connected to even if weaker, it will auto-connect to the closest in range first, and you won’t be able to easily switch your device to go to the other one instead.

When using the extender with a TP-link router, is it possible to retain parental controls for devices that connect via the extender?
