I'm currently using a single switch to control both my light and exhaust fan, but I'd like to have separate controls for them without cutting into the wall to install a bigger box. Is there a way to add another switch for the fan and light that only requires using a two-gang box?

Absolutely! You can find double switches that fit in a single gang space, including ones with dimmers for fan/light control. Check out your local Home Depot for options!
To make the fan and light operate separately, you’d need to run another wire to the fan from the switch box. Just be mindful of some electrical work needed here.
You could look into a combination switch/outlet setup. For instance, Leviton offers models that combine a switch and an outlet, which might work for your configuration!
Definitely, but don’t forget that Amazon and AliExpress have a massive selection if you're looking for variety!
