You may petition for your fiance, but not for your soon to be step-daughter since she, having reached the age of 18, would not be considered your "stepchild" under the INA.

You may apply right away. Make sure before you do so that you have the required amount of time to satisfy the statute. If you spent significant amount of time outside the United States, you may want to calculate carefully the time spent in the United Sates and make sure you do qualify.

You may petition for your second wife immediately. Recently the FB-2a category was close to current so I would recommend this in case it jumps forward again. In any case the first stage is identical to what is required once you become a U.S. citizen so you are getting that stage out of the way. If you become a U.S. citizen before her Priority Date is current you can upgrade the case easily to immediate relative. For each and every marital filing the burden is on you to prove your current marriage is in good faith. Unless the government determined that your first marriage was fraudulent there is no need to include this evidence but you will be noting the name and date of birth of child. The five year rule you may be thinking of is that you may not file for citizenship until 4 years and 9 months after you became a PR - 90 days before your 5 year anniversary (It would have been 2 years and 9 months if you were still married to a USC).
