No, when a player reaches base on an error the batter is not credited with a hit. He is credited with an at bat, so as far his statistics are concerned, it is as though he made an out.

Is there such a thing as a four base error?

There could be but I can't remember having ever seen one. A four base error would be an error that allowed the batter to score. I have seen plays where more than one player made errors which allowed the batter to score. I guess that could be called a four base error but I would think it means one defensive player made an error that allowed the batter to score.

Does a fielder's error go down as a hit officially?

No. If a player reaches base due to a fielder's error, the batter does not receive credit for a hit, but does get credit for an at-bat. Therefore, the batter's average will descend, but the batter's on-base percentage will increase.

If a player is on first base and goes to second base on another players hit, walk, ground out, etc., it is called being advanced to second base.
