1. What are hexes classified as?In the APG I see no mention that they are Supernatural or Exraordinary or that they can/cannot function in a Anti-Magic field. On PG 66 the first fluff text sentance states "Witches learn a number of magic tricks" but it isn't very good detail.
Each Hex's name says what it is, ie "Charm (Su):" or "Coven (Ex):"
They follow the normal rules for SU, ie don't provoke AO's subject to Anti-magic, but not dispel or disjunction.
2. Can my Witch use Evil Eye on a target multiple times for the differant negative effects?The negative effects don't have a type. When looking in Core under the Magic chapter the differant options for determining if things did not really match the Evil Eye scenario.
The common understanding is that you can stack mutliple different effects, ie -AC and -Hit, applying each one each round. But you can't stack -Hit with -Hit.
The fluff implies mind effecting, but it isn't explicitly called out and shouldn't be considered as such.
3. What is the range of the Ward hex?
Doesn't say, but the convention for the basic hexes is either touch or 30 feet, neither is over powere
4. Can a Witch create her own spells like a Wizard?I know that it was always a DM choice on the spells. I don't have my Core on me, I don't know if it is still legal for Wizards to do it.
might have follow-up questions based on the answers to the above. Thanks to all.
By RAW no, you can purchase a scroll and feed it to your familier to learn new spells beyond the 2 / level you gain. Or learn from another witch.
I see no reason why a witch couldnt research new spells just as the wizard or cleric can.
Well, the Researching New Spells section specifically calls out Wizards as being able to do this. The Witch doesn't say anything that would add their class to that list in the core rules. The Sorcerer has a sentence that indicates they might be allowed to learn spells that are specifically researched, although they don't "research" it exactly:
These new spells can be common spells chosen from the sorcerer/wizard spell list, or they can be unusual spells that the sorcerer has gained some understanding of through study.
The Witch has no such language to suggest it could do such a thing. Although, the GM might allow you to teach your Familiar a specific spell that isn't on your spell list if you can get a scroll of the spell.
From the GMG: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic#TOC-Research-and-Designing-Spells
Pretty much anyone can research appropriate spells with GM approval.
There is this though, so it's definitely worth talking over with the GM.
The common understanding is that you can stack mutliple different effects, ie -AC and -Hit, applying each one each round. But you can't stack -Hit with -Hit.
I'd really like to get an official ruling for this one. Guess I'll FAQ-flag it.

Actually, the description says
Evil Eye (Su): The witch can cause doubt to creep into the mind of a foe within 30 feet that she can see. The target takes a –2 penalty on one of the following (witch’s choice): AC, ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, or skill checks. This hex lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the witch’s Intelligence modifier. A Will save reduces this to just 1 round. This is a mind-affecting effect. At 8th level the penalty increases to –4.
I'd say that's pretty explicit and far from "fluff".

2. Can my Witch use Evil Eye on a target multiple times for the differant negative effects?
It's not in the FAQ yet, but this question was answered by one of the developers here on the boards.
It took me a minute to find it, but here's the LINK
Yes, if a witch wants to spend all her actions over several rounds adding evil eye penalties to the same target, she can do so.
