If I wanted items that I personally have sent (querys sent) and wanted
them deleted so no one else could read, how can that be done?

What do you mean by queries?

How are you sending these queries?

To whom are you sending them?

As to my third request, you probably shouldn't name a specific person
-- you can just say whether you are sending these queries to one
person, several people, to a company, or someone/something else.

When I look up my name in "google" or "kanoodle" (under my name), I
see a couple of items/topics that I would like others NOT to read. How
or can those items be deleted?

Hi Sweeper,

I have presumed that you are using Internet Explorer - please ask for
a clarification if it is another browser you are using.
 
If you are visiting the Google website to do your searching, and the 
searchbox has your previous enquiries, you can remove them by: 
  
1) In IE go to Tools / Internet Options / Content / AutoComplete.  
  
2) Untick the box beside "Forms" (if you wish to deactivate the search
history feature) and click on "Clear Forms" (to clear the current
history).
  
If it is the Google Toolbar you are using:  
  
1) Click on the Google logo to access the drop down menu.   
  
2) Choose the Clear Search History option. 
 
To delete individual entries, use the down arrow key to select
previous search keywords, then press delete to remove a highlighted
entry.

To stop the toolbar remembering queries:

1) Click on the Google logo to access the drop down menu. 

2) Select Toolbar Options

3) Untick the box next to "Keep a search history in a drop-down list
under the search box"
