Sounds like another homeless drink. Round 1.
Here we go...

I believe you Americans enjoy bits of it.
"Bits" was the important word here. I was implying "bits" of data (0 and 1), which would then (somehow) imply Javascript. This would then go on to suggest "Java Joe", which is I believe American slang for coffee.

You Americans also seem to like it with another.
This was the one people followed. I see all the time in American sitcoms (well, "Friends", since that's pretty much the only good one) that people want to "grab a cup of coffee" with other people, which generally constitutes a date. So it was coffee.

If it "sounds like..." something, then that something has a name. Then apply the rest of the clue, and you'll have yourself a new clue, one I don't expect many artsy minds to understand. I told you this was a hard one.
Now we begin to tie it all together. We have coffee. The "sounds like" implies the coffee has a name, which turned out to be Maxwell House. Then we want a homeless version, so remove the "House" to leave, simply, "Maxwell". "Another" implies that there was (at least) one similar thing before it, so we're looking for "Maxwell 2".
Artsy people won't get this. The Arts and the Sciences have always traditionally been rivals, the opposite ends of the spectrum (which indicentally is a scientific term, heh). So it's something to do with science.

There are a number of (supposedly) very simple things in my world (or indeed in the Universe in general), all related to one thing. The number is one up on the world's most powerful rabbit-killing weapon.
First of all, it's in "my world", not "the world". I didn't expect you to know, but I'm studying physics at the best University in England (Durham, of course). The "world's most powerful rabbit-killing weapon" was of course the Holy Hand Grenade, with the associated number of 3 (the Monty Python film made that clear). One up on that is 4.
These "simple things in the Universe" would be equations. Everyone knows E=mc^2, which is a simple way of explaining a much more difficult concept. I'm looking for a set of 4 equations somehow related to this "Maxwell".
Easy. Maxwell came up with 4 equations that (theoretically - I don't understand them) explain the whole of electromagnetism. "Maxwell 2" would be the second equation, which proves there is no such thing as a magnetic monopole. So we've reached magnetism. And since there's "no monopoles", you might think it would be a set of more than one (since "mono" means "one", and there's none of that here). And since magnetism only has a North and South, this set is a set of two.
From here it's a simple step, but one you seem to have tripped over many times.
"Round one." Fight!
"Who fights?" Fighters. Warriors. It was said earlier. The card you're looking for contains the word "warrior". Easy. And since it's
"Round one." instead of Round two, you're looking at the first of the set of two.
Easy. Magnetism, "Warrior", One.
M-Warrior #1.
...Although that's not quite how I suspect EmeraldDragon worked it out. I think my last clue gave it away.

If I said, "My brother and I make pasta", would you get it now?
EmeraldDragon had previously mentioned
Karbonala Warrior, which is of course the fusion between
M-Warrior #1 and
M-Warrior #2. I said (not specifically) this was so close, in a way. And indeed, you've probably heard of spaghetti/pasta carbonara, so if "my brother and I" make it, then "my brother and I" fuse together to form this
carbonara thing.
Now (finally) it's someone else's turn. EmeraldDragon is up.
