For example:

* TODO Things I need to do
 - [] get foo1, foo2, foo3.
  * TODO foo2 is got by this way
 - [] do thing 2
 - [] ...

You haven't made your question very clear here... and I don't really
understand what you're asking.

The second TODO should have 2 stars

,----
| * TODO Things I need to do
|  - [ ] get foo1, foo2, foo3.
| ** TODO foo2 is got by this way
|  - [ ] do thing 2
|  - [ ] ...
`----

I'm assuming your - [] are supposed to be checkboxes (they need a space
in there)

Headlines have leading stars.  Org-mode can hide leading stars but they
are still present physically in the file and are required for marking
headlines.

Pardon for my poor English, if I don't expree clearly then let me know
:)

I need a way to make a TODO entry in plain text, not just at header

My fault :)

In such case, the level 2 TODO will break up my the one plain list into
two. So assume that the original header is:

* TODO Things I need to do [0/3]

Now it will become: 

* TODO Things I need to do [0/1]

My fault again ..

I don't think you can do that.  Lists can't cross task/heading
boundaries as far as  I know.
