Sharepoint site collection - sharepoint

Is it possible to add sites under one site collection in SharePoint online like this
https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/IT
https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/IT/Asia
https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/IT/America

Yes, you could create a site collection first: https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/IT.
After you create the site collection, you could create two subsites under the site https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/IT.

Go to your site collection https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/IT.
Click Site contents and then Subsites or this link https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/IT/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx?view=15.
Create two new Subsites with Asia and America url

A new site collection is for different users means different my-site in web application in sahrepoint 2013?

I am new to sharepoint and working on already configured project.
A new site collection is created for a each user in my site.
I.e : http://mysite is my web application URL.
For news and about us section all going good. But whenever i Click on tasks link.
It will go to a new URL which is seems to be a new site collection URL.
So newly created site collection doesn't inherit the master page.
Is there is a way to stop this ? means to stop a new site collection creation for each users?
Well, it is normal that new site collections are created for each user. It is used to store their Tasks list, their My Documents library, and other personal stuff.
If you want to prevent users from creating these site collections, you can deny them the right "Create Personal Site" in the User Profile Service (see this blog post for instance: http://www.toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=222).
However you loose all related functionnality of course.
However these site collections should all use the same master page. So if your Sharepoint is not heavily customized, you can simple modify this masterpage.

Change owner of a sharepoint site

My company has recently started sharepoint for collaboration. Now I created sites and subsites for all my projects. And that time I created new groups for owner, members and visitors for each subsite. But later I realised that the owner group can be same for all subsites. So I deleted the owner groups for 2 of my sites. Now I am unable to create subsites or delete those sites. How do I find who is the owner and how can I add myself as the owner for these sites. Any help would be appreciated.
Try going to the /_layouts/permsetup.aspx page on each of the sites to add the new owner group.
For instance, if you had a site with the url http://testapp/testsite/, you would go to http://testapp/testsite/_layouts/permsetup.aspx

Location and visibility of the SharePoint users group

I created a group of users in the SharePoint subsite, i.e. pressed Create Group button on a ribbon of this particular subsite Permissions page. Nevertheless I see this group in the list of groups in my parent site.
Does this mean that all SharePoint groups are stored on the site collection level? Meaning that all groups are relevant to any site in the collection?
If this is so, what were the reasons for this design?
Yes, you can access all groups from the main site and any website in the collection. And I guess the reason is to give you the ability to use any group in any website under your collection.

Adding a custom tab and page MOSS MySites that everyone can see

On MOSS mysites I want to be able to create a new tab that every mysite user can view, it should show a web part page.
How can I do this?
Create a site collection as a parent to all the MySites. Or to put it the other way, make the MySites a subsite to a site collection that has the site that you want all the MySites to see.
In your Shared Services Provider (Central Admin/Shared Services Admin), look under User Profiles and My Sites. You can select Personalization Site Links and point to an existing site that contains the web part page you want to display.
You can also filter the display using the Audiences functionality so that it only displays to a select group of users.
