Answer 1

The current is watts divided by voltage, assuming that you are in the US, 28/120=about 1/4amps and you will not have a problem doing this. Are you sure it is only 28 watts? You could probably run a larger wattage fan up to250 watts with no problem.

Answer 2

As the light in your bathroom is probably 60w and maybe a 100w, 28w will be no problem at all in the UK.

As with all electrical work, if you are in any doubt about wiring it in, get a qualified electrician, but it's a very simple DIY job.

Answer 3

Yes it will
