I should imagine it's fine to ask here, though you might wanna try the "advanced" thread.

Sorry I can't type Japanese here.
Chained particles are read the same as normal, so your examples, 「には」 is read as "ni wa" and 「では」 as "de wa".

「はず」 is a particle of it's own that appears after a plain verb to indicate something that should be done. It's read as "hazu".
