>So, if I'm not mistaken, Satan was a fallen Angel.
Yes.
>Does Satan have the equivalent of Angels (Demons, I guess?) in Hell with him? If so, how does that work?
Yes, demons are fallen angels. When the angels were created, they could make a decision for God or against God. Those who chose against God are called demons.
>And on the topic of Angels, does Heaven have the same amount of Angels as mentioned in the bible or are there new Angels all the time?
I can't recall a Bible verse says how many angels there are.

We don't know a lot about Angels, but the few indications that we have are that the lowest Angels have an intellect greater than all the Humans on earth put together. There are at least 8 levels of Angels above that. Serephim, Cherubim, etc.
Angels have a different type of intellect than we do. They quickly and fully acquire knowledge, and do not learn and forget gradually like we do. So, when they decided to betray God, there was no going back. When they fell from God's grace, they deformed into demons.
Please note that intellect is separate than moral will. Having a great intellect comes with equal risk of making immoral choices.
Satan was God's most glorious Angel, Lucifer. He was supposed to bring light to the whole Earth (Lucifer = The light bringer). He decided that he was far too great to serve mankind. In God's infinite wisdom, God uses Satan and his demons to test us to see where our loyalties are. Adam and Eve failed that test, but Jesus opened the door back to Heaven for those who truly want to choose God instead.
