How do I search for extra paragraph breaks ...

That depends on what you consider "extra" breaks! You probably mean consecutive paragraph breaks, in other words defining an empty paragraph - as would be (mis)used to space paragraphs by a user who thought the word processor was a typewriter.

o In the Find & Replace dialogue, click More Options and ensure that "Regular expressions" is ticked.
o Search for ^$
The circumflex locks your pattern to the start of a paragraph and the dollar sign to its end, so the pair represents an empty paragraph - what you need.

... and paragraph breaks with a space in front?

o As above but search for " $" (no quotes) - that's space-dollar sign.

I trust this helps.
