I cannot be claimed by my mother. At the seasonal job i make 11.00 and the supermarket is like 8.00.

Answer 1

I always tell my clients to claim their actual number of exemptions on the W-4 for their primary job (the one where you will make the most money this year) and claim 0 on their second or lesser paying job. Make sure your parents are not able to claim you. If they are you need to claim 0 on both jobs. Any excess withheld will come back to you as a refund, so there is no problem if you have too much withheld.

Answer 2

I'd claim zero and have some extra taken out each week if you don't want to end up paying when you file your return. Can't say how much extra to have taken out without knowing how much you make per hour at each job, and what your typical work week is at the supermarket - post again with that info and someone can give you a better answer.
