Do all W-2 forms from the same company have the same Control number?

No, those are used by payroll companies and can be left blank if you choose. See below.

Do you have more than 1 from the same company?  And it’s not just another copy?  You sometimes get 4 copies.  Why did you get them?

No I only have one but I keep getting an error saying my Control Number is not valid. My roommate works at the same place so I didn't know if I could use the one on there's. I have been on hold with Turbo Tax for 2 and a half hours and then I read on their site where it says you can use 5 numbers a pace and then 5 more numbers and it let me file. So I hope that is alright.

If you are manually entering the W2 just leave box blank.
