I bought a light that is labeled a night light. When I opened the box I found that it has a red and black wire that lead to some sort of electrical component which I believe is related to the remote control. The only two wires that exit this component are white. There were no instructions at all. I'm assuming it goes to a ceiling box from the way the bottom of the light looks. How would I wire this into a ceiling box? Can this be wired with a plug instead?

From what you've described, this is what I think you're wiring should look like. Keep in mind, this is just a guess. I can't see what's going on, and I'm an internet away, so I can't touch/measure/test anything.
The wiring diagram for the switch, can be found in the installation instructions.
If you provide images, and/or a better description of what wires and cables are in each box. I'll be able to provide a better guess, as to how this should be wired.
NOTE:
The diagram is based on your description, and is my best guess as to what your wiring looks like. If you're not sure what to do, or feel like this project is over your head. Do not hesitate to contact a local licensed Electrician.
From an edit, of all things:
The wiring was as the commenters suggested (one switch going to the light/fan and one switch for an outlet in the room). I hired an electrician to come change it so one switch works the fan and one works the light on the fan.

Strange it came with no documentation.
The backward UR is an underwriters laboratories recognized component marking. It appears to have a C before it and a US after it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UL_(safety_organization)#Recognized_Component_Mark
That doesn't mean the whole assembly is UL approved but it means that part has been tested.
Either send it back and get a refund, or contact the company that sold it to you for instructions.
