Singular (Doesn't seem / Doesn't seems?)
What does she want to know?
What does she wants to know?
He doesn't seem happy.
He doesn't seems happy.
Should I add 's' even though there is a 'doesn't' in a sentence since he/she is singular.
Or should I just ignore it?

What does she want to know? CORRECT
In this sentence the auxiliary verb (helping verb) do (present tense) must agree with the third person subject she and the main verb want following the auxiliary verb must be in the bare infinitive form (i.e., the infinitive without the to)
e.g.:
I do like...
You do need...
He/she/it does work...
We do like...
You do need...
They do work
What does she wants to know? INCORRECT
****************************************************
He doesn't seem happy. CORRECT (same rules as above)
He doesn't seems happy. INCORRECT

It's a simple rule: tell us once.
What does (for he/she/it) she want to know?
He doesn't seem happy.

You already conjugated the verb to do so the second verb stays in infinitive and does not change.
He does not seem happy.
He does not seem happy.
