Why the high resistance earth fault in the appliance increase the risk of electric shock when using appliance in earth situation?
If the earth connection has a high resistance it is not capable of acting as a true earth. For example, the high resistance might mean that the fuse or circuit-breaker will fail to operate when there is a fault.

What is the difference between balanced earth fault and restricted earth fault?
There is such a thing as a three phase to earth fault, so maybe this is what you mean by a "balanced earth fault". I don't believe any earth or ground currents would flow in this case. A restricted earth fault is a typical phase to earth fault, where the zone of protection is restricted to a specific area, such as around a transformer. "Restricted" is referring to the protection method, not what is actually going on with the currents and voltages.
