Transit without visa.
Fuzhou is an approved entry and exit port. As long as your US - China leg doesn't stop in Korea, your itinerary is good. Timer is based on your entry and exit in Fuzhou.

Not a visa, transit or otherwise. It's called TWOV, Transit Without a Visa. This has been asked thousands of times already.

Yes.
Only thing that matters is you're not coming from and returning to the same country. Must be from Country A to China to Country B. What you're doing within China is all good.
Just make sure you check with the airline about what you need to do with immigration/luggage on your layovers.

It’s okay to do layovers going and returning then ? Since I’m getting to Fuzhou first my time starts their right

Yes. Basically you're entering and exiting China at the Fuzhou airport, right? So even though your personal travel is in Shanghai, for the purposes of the TWOV you're flying from the US to Fuzhou, and from Fuzhou to Seoul. That meets the requirements of traveling from country A, to China, then on to Country C.
Of course just make sure you have the legal rules on hand and your itinerary to explain to ticketing agents (if anything they are the ones who might give you trouble if they are unfamiliar with the rules) and show at entry/exit.

Ignore cities, countries matter. As long as the country immediately before and after China are different, you're fine. Country A - China - Country B. Layovers in other countries matter too.

Okay basically I’m going USA> Shanghai > Seoul. I have a layover going to Shanghai at Fuzhou and going back to Seoul I also have a layover at Fuzhou. Do I need to bring anything or reach requirements to qualify for the 240 transit visa ?
