With respect to forces, how are electric charge and mass alike? How are they different?
Does it have to do with Coulomb's Law? Or am I way out of the ballpark?

You are pretty much on the right track. They are both properties of their respective forces and they are used roughly the same way. For the electric force, the force is related to the product of the 2 objects' charges while the gravitational force is related to the product of the 2 objects' masses. They are different in that they are used in different forces and the electric force is much stronger than the gravitational force

Greg G has it pretty much right, although I would have worded it differently.
More important than the respective strength of the forces, in my opinion, is that there is no repulsive force for masses. All masses attract all masses.

Fusion is what occurs in the solar, it is in certainty the combining of two factors (Hydrogen) Fission is the breaking aside of an atom, often a great one like plutonium or uranium, radioactive decay im not so specific on yet in certainty it is going to become a diverse atom or diverse version sorta talk of that atom like U32 to U28, or something like i mentioned im not completely specific on that one
