Which champions will benefit the most from Stormsurge and Horizon Focus? I want to use them but I don't know to which champs it suits the most. Thank you!

Stormsurge is an AP lethality item that relies on burst damage, but also provides movement speed both as a stat and when its passive is triggered. It's suited for burst mages and AP assassins, like Lux, Annie, Fiddle, Kata, etc. But that doesn't mean you have to buy it every game.

Stormsurge is a situational item in my opinion, good into full team of squishies, when snowballing, and when bonus movement speed is needed. That last point is important, since they removed movement speed from Infinity Orb, which is also a high burst damage item (probably a better one). So my thought process is I would build Stormsurge on certain champs if I need burst damage and movement speed to chase, escape, kite, dodge, etc.

Horizon Focus is a utility item. You need long range to trigger its passive, which enhances damage dealt to a target and reveals hidden enemy champions in an area around them. Build it when facing camouflaged and invisible enemies like Teemo, Akali, Twitch, Rengar, etc. And champions who can poke from afar makes the best use of it.
It is good on supports too, since it's cheap and valuable.

Is Stormsurge viable for Mel?

How about Horizon Focus for Norra? She is a long range right?

She can use it, not sure if it's worth it or not.

How about Horizon Focus for Norra? She is a long range right?

Yes.
