I've just downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Community edition and trying to find why I can't find a Template for Outlook under Visual C#.
I find in other articles that you can find Templates > Visual C# > Office Add-ins -> Outlook 2013 Add-in
But I don't even have this option.
Do I need to download some other extension to enable this feature?
Yes, you need to install http://aka.ms/OfficeDevToolsForVS2013 to get the templates visible.

I installed C# and business intelligence inside visual studio 2010 and now I'm able to access/create BI projects but can't findout anything under Visual C# template "no item found"
In visual studio project creation form -> choose Visual C# and choose Installed Templates.
You see no item found cause most probably you have selected Online Templates.
I have installed Visual Studio 2010, and I want to create Outlook 2003 add-in program which add few buttons on navigating menu. I want to use some of the tempaltes provided by VS2010 ( at least in case of Office 2007 and 2010 provided) but there is no template for 2003 version. Is there a way to add it, or download somehow?
There is no support for Office 2003 addons in Visual Studio 2010. Only you can use Office 2007 or Office 2010 addons.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 to create a new add-in for Excel. Ideally I would like it to work with Excel 2011 (Mac), 2010, and 2007.
There are three template options to choose from when I start a new C# project.
(Office) Excel 2010 Add-in
(Extensibility) Visual Studio Add-in
(Extensibility) Shared Add-in
What are the differences between these template choices?
Thanks in advance.
From MS. As the name implies, you probably want to use shared add-in.
Office Excel 2010 Add-in
Creates an application-level add-in for Excel 2007 or Excel 2010. For more information, see Getting Started Programming Application-Level Add-Ins and Excel Solutions.
(Extensibility) Visual Studio Add-in
Visual Studio Add-ins add functionality to the Visual Studio and Visual Studio Macros environments. For more information, see How to: Create an Add-In.
(Extensibility) Shared Add-in
Shared Add-ins can add functionality to one or more Microsoft Office applications, as well as to Visual Studio. For more information, see How to: Create an Add-In.

#1 and #3 will work for Windows machines, but straight from Geoff Darst of Microsoft's VSTO team, "the .Net Development Platform and Visual Studio Tools For Office are Windows only." You'll have to code in VBA to get functionality across all three versions.
If you want to target just the Windows environment, make sure you target the 2007 version of Excel, as I don't believe solutions developed for Excel 2010 are backward compatible with Excel 2007.
is it possible to deploy Visual studio 2010 add-in to vs gallery ? and if not how to make a setup package for it any way ?
The front page of the Visual Studio Gallery includes links "Upload" and "See My Gallery".
So trivially: you can.
Also linked is "Feedback" to an MSDN forum on the subject of the gallery.
The default editor for InfoPath 2007 C# code is VSTA. It has very low functionality and I want to use my VS 2010. Is this possible? If yes, how?
I tried to create a project out of an existing one, but i couldnt import the correct assemblies.
"Visual Studio 2010 does not include the InfoPath form template projects that were provided in previous versions of Visual Studio. You also cannot use Visual Studio 2010 to open or edit an InfoPath form template project that was created in a previous version of Visual Studio."
