Please see linked pic (see notes highlighted in blue boxes).

1) How do I create these type small notes?

2) How can I get 20 such small notes to fit over 1 beat or 2 beats in a measure?

I believe what you are looking for is called an appoggiatura. You can find it as an option under the Keypad, Other Notes (2nd tab). This should insert the small notes - as many as you want. It's icon looks like a tiny eighth note and is next to the arrow.
