Answer 1

What exactly do you want/expect as result? That isn't really clear from your post. Neither is the structure of your schema. So, I'll have to assume lots of things when trying to answer. I assume you want one row per employee, that contains total sum of loans, and this sum of loans split out over several balance_names. For that, your group by contains way too many fields, and the position of the case and sum in the select seems reversed.
Basically, that would translate into something like:
select  pap.employee_number emp_number
,       pap.full_name emp_name
,       sum(pbv.value) val
,       sum(decode(pbv.balance_name, 'CAR_LOAN_BALANCE', pbv.value, 0)) car_loan
,       sum(decode(pbv.balance_name, 'MEDICAL_LOAN_BALANCE', pbv.value, 0)) medical_loan
from    pay_balance_values_v pbv
,       per_all_people_f pap
,       per_all_assignments_f paa
where   pap.person_id = paa.person_id
  and   paa.assignment_id = pbv.assignment_id
  and   sysdate between paa.effective_start_date and paa.effective_end_date
  and   sysdate between pap.effective_start_date and pap.effective_end_date
  and   ...
group by pap.employee_number, pap.full_name
having sum(pbv.value) > 0
order by emp_number;But again, it's not really clear to me if that is what you mean.
