I'm interested in creating a development environment in WPF which can aid non-programmers(like parents) to write simple programs in C# for children. So, I want to make a WPF application (development environment ) which creates a new WPF app. It's impossible, right?
There is a simple way to prove that doing so is not impossible: finding some existing application that can create new WPF applications. But that's exactly what Visual Studio does.
So, no, it's not impossible.
If you want to know whether doing that would be easy, that's completely different question.

Why do exist the two equal interfaces in the .NET Framework?
The System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window, and the System.Windows.Interop.IWin32Window.
Thank's.
Use System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window when you are working with WinForms.
Use System.Windows.Interop.IWin32Window when you are working with WPF.
The main purpose of existing these two interfaces is, that you don't need to refer to WinForms specific assemblies, when you are working with WPF and vice versa.
I guess that's just for a convenience, so you don't need a completely unrelated Forms assembly, then you are actually using WPF, so you avoid short name clashes and IntelliSense trashing.

I'd like to use the new metro transitions (AddDeleteThemeTransition, ContentThemeTransition, ...), for my WPF 4 project.
Can I use a dll ? Where could I download it ?
WinRT/XAML is a different technology than WPF and none of its WinRT UI will work with WPF. Additionally these transitions seem to be using some different mechanism than regular Storyboards, so there is likely no way to just extract them to something that would work with WPF.
Your only option would be to implement something yourself and make it look good. Or alternatively give up support for Windows 7 and implement your application as a WinRT app for Windows 8.

Why we need CLR Hosting? Can I do CLR Hosting using C#? If yes then please give an example.
CLR hosting is when you have a native application which wants to run the CLR within the same process. It makes no sense to talk about CLR hosting using C#, as you're already running the CLR if you're running C# code (beyond some very strange situations).
Basically, if you need to ask about it, you almost certainly don't need to do it.
See MSDN for more information.

I've decided to port a little C# .NET application over to linux.
It uses .NET 4, and the author (not me) decided to use WPF because he had performance issues with Winforms.
http://www.mono-project.com/Gui_Toolkits shows quite a lot of possible options for me to use, but I'm relatively new to C# and even more so to Mono. I need it to be fast, and preferably fairly lightweight.
What would you recommend and why?
I want to know which GUI kit to go with for performance and easy of porting, given that I'm new to Mono and the original .NET app uses WPF.
Go with Gtk#. It has a nice performance and monodevelop comes with a design tool to help you draw your interface.

I'm developing a free application and would like to make some money by embedding advertisements in it. Initially I had planned to embed ads in a webbrowser control (AdSense, Google Ads) but found that this isn't allowed. Does anybody have experience with this?
The program is coded in C# and will run on PCs not windows mobile
(Although I hate these,) one option for you might be to bundle toolbars? For example, InstallShield 2009 allows you to bundle the Yahoo! toolbar with your app's installer. You join the Acresso Value-Added Services program and get paid everytime the toolbar is used.
