By "sb", do you mean "subject"? Then "sth" would be... "something"?
"Have Fred do the dishes" means "arrange for Fred to do [wash] the
dishes." It's similar to "Tell Fred to do the dishes."
I can't think of any sentence of the form "have _?_ doing _?_." The
other form you may mean is "has Fred done the dishes?" This is an
interrogative asking whether or not Fred has done the task mentioned.
