Is there a free version of SQL Server where one can practice or any other tool which checks correct SQL Server syntax?
I would like an offline one.
I am expecting something like OracleXE server.
What you are looking for is SQL Express Edition. It is the free version with limitations.

If you want all the features of SQL Server Enterprise edition to test then you need Developer Edition.

Edit:
To marc_s point here is the blog post from MSFT about MSSQL Developer Edition being free: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/dataplatforminsider/2016/03/31/microsoft-sql-server-developer-edition-is-now-free/
All you need to do is sign up for the "Dev Essentials" (Free):

Since which version does SQL server (non-Azure) support the R language?
What are good doc resources to get an overview of that support?
R Services was introduced in SQL Server 2016. The SQL Server 2017 version under development, adds support for Python and renamed the feature to Machine Learning Services.

I need to install AdventureWorksLT2012 database but I don't need the .exe installer instead I need the script file so I can copy & paste it to SSMS 2012 and run it from it so it creates it.
Is there a way to download this script from a website?
Go to the Microsoft SQL Server sample database page on Codeplex and under Other Downloads (on the right) you can find
AdventureWorks for SQL Server 2012 (Mar 12, 2012 - Stable)
That page then show a lot of downloads - the one you want probably is:
AdventureWorks 2012 LT Script (third from the bottom)

I'm working with SQL Server for the first time and I like using MySQL Workbench. Can anyone recommend a similar application for SQL Server?
SQL Server Management Studio or SSMS. You can get the express version here. Also, if you have a developer/standard or above licence it's already in the setup for the SQL Server.

I am beginner in Oracle. I have seen there are many oracle version such as XE, Enterprises, Personal, Liet and so on.
I would like to learn Oracle but I am very confuse which oracle version should I learn first?
XE, Enetrprise, etc is not versions, but editions, like Windows Home, Professional, Ultimate.
To start learning you can begin with Oracle 12c XE edition.
Here you can see difference between editions:

I would like to know if there is any way i can restore a 2012 MS sql server database into MS sql server 2008 thanks in advance .
The short answer is no, not using backup and restore like I'm guessing you'd prefer, however a few other options are discussed here if you are feeling adventurous:
