Yes. Though, your GM may rule there isn't enough water to draw from so you can't say, take a goblet filled with water and drown a room. The spell text hints that there is a source of the water as the lower application pushes it into the ground so the raise application hints that it draws from the ground instead.
Yes.

Well the second one is easy. Creatures immune to acid are not immune to the other effects of Acid Fog due to that immunity. They just don't take the 2d6 acid damage.
As for Control Water it does appear to be allowed to work that way. Nothing in its description or heading gives any indication that it shouldn't work just fine to raise the water from a puddle, which would then overflow and fill the area. After all a 7th level Cleric can create 14 gallons of water with an orison over 14,000 times a day if they really wanted to, so a 4th level spell should be quite capable of making a puddle overflow.
That's up to you to decide, then. Does the puddle connect to a larger supply of water beneath the ground that can be drawn from? I would guess yes as water doesn't puddle unless either it is on a water tight surface or the ground is super saturated. The spell is control water, not create water, so if there's no other water to be had besides that gallon, then no dice. That said, you might be able to rule that gallon could be used to suffocate one creature at a time. That is, if we're trying to make sense with what a gallon of water can do.

A creature who has Immunity Acid is only immune to acid damage. It would need to have something like "Immunity Fog Spells" or something similar to ignore all the effects of Acid Fog.
Your just fine letting the other spell flood the room, it make more water then there is. Imagine it like a really souped up enlarge person or reduce person, only it works on water.
Acid Fog has the acid descriptor. How are they not immune?

In your games I would always carry a water bag on me. Instant win unless creatures inside a room could breath under water.
I agree. I don't want to bother tracing all waterways back to their sources and doing a volume calculation to see if the source can fill the volume of the room each time the spell is used.
Or you can just say there is in a yes/no fashion. :)
I would say no. Why? It doesn't make sense. Where would the water go? The spell mentions nothing about creating or destroying it; simply manipulating what's there.
"Control Water" has some ambiguous wording, but this sentence, "If the area affected by the spell includes riverbanks, a beach, or other land nearby, the water can spill over onto dry land" seems to imply that to flood an area you need access to large amounts of water.
If the ruling is that a small puddle can flood a room, there's no need to carry a bag of water, just cast "create water" and then use the resulting puddle to flood the room. In fact this could be done as a team activity, one caster creating the puddle, another flooding the room with it.
I would probably rule that "control water" doesn't "create water", but I would allow the spell to effectively double the amount of water present, drawing the water from the air or sucking it up through the ground. No real logical rationale for the "double the amount of water" ruling, just feels right to me.
Acid resistance is only resistance to acid damage not all effects associated with acid. Acid fog effects other than damage would effect an acid resistant creature.
You're right, AD, on the other effects of acid fog. Admittedly, I just looked at the spell to see if it had the acid descriptor rather than reading the spell description. :)
All transmutation magic says is that it changes the properties of something. So, given how the spell description itself reads, is the reason I say what I say. Given the vagueness of the transmutation school itself, it's a bit difficult to make comparisons and say two things are equal.

Acid Fog has the acid descriptor. How are they not immune?
Well you need to know what Immunity actually gives a creature.
A creature with immunities takes no damage from listed sources. Immunities can also apply to afflictions, conditions, spells (based on school, level, or save type), and other effects. A creature that is immune does not suffer from these effects, or any secondary effects that are triggered due to an immune effect.
Format: Immune acid, fire, paralysis; Location: Defensive Abilities.
So a creature that is only Immune acid, is only immune to acid damage. As I said, if it said something about being immune to cloud effects or the spell specifically you'd be fine, but it likely doesn't.
Also, I totally think it's fine for a 4th level Cleric spell to fill a room up with water. If you used a water skin that's fine with me. Not like it's a huge debilitating thing give how most rooms have things like doors and windows for water to flow out of and it doesn't really help the party to have it full of water either in most cases.
