Answer 1

You are using User::find(2) this returns a single instance of User with id = 2. Or even null if it doesn't exist. In your view you are iterating over $resultrow as if it where a collection and not a single model.
I believe what you actually want to do is something like this:
$result=User::where('some-column', 'operator', 'some-value')->get();
return View::make('fetchbywhere')->with('resultrow',$result);
So an example could be...
$result=User::where('age', '>', '18')->get();
return View::make('fetchbywhere')->with('resultrow',$result);
...to get everybody over 18
Also its "where clause" not clouse ;)
Update
The actual use for the find method is to get only one object with the passed id (primary key in the database). It doesn't return a collection (list) because there no way it could find multiple rows with the same id, since the primary key is unique.
If you only want one user (by a specific id) you have to change your view to directly access the model
<title>Fetch by Where clouse</title>
<h2>Users - Where clouse</h2>
{{ $resultrow->name }}
