and Second, how to give the constant number into the artithmetic combinator per circuit network?

No way, as far as I know. Signals that arrive on both red and green wires are always summed together.

It should be possible, actually, you just have to be crafty about it and I frankly cannot think of any real use cases for this. Its not a direct set via circuit network, but its the next best thing.

For the Inserter, that you want to set the condition for by circuit network, set the condition to a virtual signal, such as C. Then use combinators that under a given condition, output whatever the signal desired is to that C signal. This way you can set what the Inserter is using, the C signal, to whatever you want to input it at the cost of a 1 tick delay.

Something similar should work for the Arithmetic Combinator. As with the Inserter, I do not know of any use-cases.
