Default Install bathroom exhaust fan (newbie question)

Now, since the weather is finally warming up, I am going to embark on
an ambitious project. In my 1 year old house, the builder put the
exhaust fan in the toilet room. The steam from the shower does not get
picked up by that fan.
I was thinking of installing an exhaust fan with the heater lamp on
the outside of the toilet room to scoop up the steam from the shower.
I can get to the attic and install the fan. I have few problems which
I have not completely figured out yet.
1) Can I connect the new fans hose to the hose of the fan in the
toilet room. This way I would not have to buy a 30ft ladder and punch
a hole in the wall for the new fans hose.
2) I have no experience with electric wiring. How should I run the
wires for this new setup? I want the fan and heater lamp to be
controlled from different switches. There are no extra switches in the
present setup.
