We have two bathrooms upstairs.
One toilet the bowl fills up very very very slowly.
I have checked the valve it is open. I disconnected the fill line to the bowl and opened the valve and water trickled out slowly.
the other toliet the bowl fills up but it seems like there is air in the line or something. it flows for two or three seconds then stops a second, then flows a few seconds then stops a few seconds etc
1) where does the fill water for upstairs toilets come from? is it just PVC in the wall split off from other water pipes? does it split off from the attic out to the toilets from where the Water Heater is?
2) is there some sort of way to blow these lines out? Do you think there is some sort of blockage in the water lines?

You are in way over your head. Please stop before you really mess things up and call a plumber.

The bowl, the tank, or both?

First you need to provide engineer stamped plans

off hand i would say there is trash in the line blocking the valve.
turn off water, remove valve, check for trash in the line and blow through the valve both ways to be sure its clear.
i have seen the seat from old valves come off the handle and stay stuck blocking the flow, i have also seen shite from construction in the lines for years then just by chance one day it works its way to the valve and causes a blockage

All houses are plumbed differently. As said earlier, turn off main valve on house and change out two valves at toilet first. Then if not fixed call a plumber
