In my Windows Phone appllication I need to realize skype call to some users. Is it possible to call skype user from my Windows Phone application?
There is no built in support for this and no public SDK specifically for Windows Phone.
If you really must do this then you'll need to implement a WP7 compatible interface to their API.

I'm making a Windows Universal app in which I need to integrate WhatsApp so that I can use all of its features in my app. I tried to use the API for the Windows Forms application but didn't worked out well. So what I want to know is that what are the different ways in which I can use all of the features of the WhatsApp API for WinForms in my UWP app?
P.S.: I have already seen the WhosDown wrapper for Windows 10 but it is a wrapper for WhatsApp Web, not for the WhatsApp application.

I guess that you used wrong API, you can refer to the Windows Phone FAQ Articles, just for example, you can launch WhatsApp application and send text from your UWP app like this:
string uri = "whatsapp://send?text=Hello%20World!";
await Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri(uri));
This solution works only when WhatsApp is already installed on your mobile. If system can not find WhatsApp on your mobile, it will open the Store and show the recommended apps which registered this protocol.
And I just tested, when use this on PC, the store can't find the app in store, seems this app only targets the mobile device, on windows pc, you need to install this app in other way.
In one of our projects on Win-RT targeting Windows 8.1 , we had used EasClientDeviceInformation() to get the client device information. But, now we want our app to be working on windows 10. So is there anything else that we could be using?
You need not change your code at all. EasClientDeviceInformation API is available on Windows 10 and you can use it in universal windows app and it would work on both Desktop and Phone. MSDN Page for this API lists the detail.
I am attempting to create a hardware device that sends data to the windows phone via headphone audio jack.
I have researched this and found that the Core.Audio api on the msdn site offers what I need however I don't think / cant find this in the windows phone API's
Is this available to developers?
Obviously someone has access to this because I have seen some companies use it for credit card processors.
The audio APIs you'd need to do this are not included in the standard Windows Phone 8 SDK.
Other apps that are using functionality like this must be using other 3rdy party libraries or have [re]written the functionality themselves.
I'm want to know how can I create an application that is launched with built in events in windows phone like incoming call or email reception.
There are some things that you can add your app to. Perhaps you create a Photo App or a Music App. You can register your app as that type and it will prompt the user to open a photo or song with your app.
Developing Windows Phone 8 apps with file and URI associations
Outside of that though you cannot access phone events. Functions such as this are locked off to developers by Microsoft to provide added security to users and also provide a consistent experience across the platform.
is it possible to switch off phone ringtone or better, setting a custom profile, via NFC using Windows Phone 8 API ?
That's not a built-in capability of WP8. You could build an app that adds a ringtone. First, you'll need to create a custom protocol for your app (e.g. "addRingtone://foo"). Next, you'll need to add intercept that deeplink and invoke the SaveRingTask.
