I know that for the full edition of Sql Server it is readily understood as MSSQS or simply SQS, is there a corresponding acronym for the Express edition?
I've never heard of "MSSQS" being an acronym for anything. I've pretty much just heard MSSQL and, if the specific version is needed, then it's said.
Neither MSSQS nor SQS gives any Google hits for SQL Server. MSSQL is the most common abbreviation, although Microsoft never abbreviates the product name, so MSSQL is strictly a community thing.
Also, there is no "full" edition, there are Enterprise, Standard, Developer etc. So even "MSSQL" is ambiguous, as you can see here on Stackoverflow from the numerous MSSQL questions that do not mention the edition (or even version).
I don't think there is a concrete acronym for SQL Server Express edition, but if you want to use the instance name of a SQL Server Express instance you could always use 'SQLEXPRESS'.

I need to migrate from SqlServer 2008r2 to SqlServer 2016. While migrating will I face any code changes that i have written in SqlServer 2008 and also Confirm is there any other impacts..
Thanks in advance
Check the Deprecated Database Engine Features in SQL Server 2016
Do the search on that page for "discontinued", these features will break your code if you've used them
General rules :- There is no impact comes when you go higher version migration in SqlServer.
I give you one by one answer.

No impact comes in code, if everything same you migrate. Only your connection string will change as per new db.

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:

I'm reading through the online documentation about Access 2013 (and I hate it even more than 2007 when they removed user level security). It keeps talking about how it uses SQL Server as the back end database. My experience with SQL Server is that the free version is not great and the paid version is extremely expensive.
If I want to use Access 2013 at home, and I want the proper SQL Server, so I have to buy it?
You can buy SQL Server Developer Edition for somewhere between $40 and $50. Shop around. Developer Edition has all the features of Enterprise Edition, but different licensing terms (e.g. you can't run it in production). Also Express is more than adequate for a lot of small-medium sized applications.
That said, I think you are misreading the documentation. It most certainly says that you CAN use SQL Server as a backend database. There are plenty of Access-based applications out there that don't.
MS Access 2013 has a new engine called ACE, instead of the Jet engine used in previous versions. There are better integrations as a front end with SQL Server. However, you don't need an actual instance of SQL Server to use it.
http://accessexperts.com/blog/2012/08/20/10-things-we-love-about-access-2013/
If you want to use it at home you can always buy the SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition which has the exact same functionallity as the full version.
The only limitation or difference from Enterprise to Developer is the
license. You cannot use Developer in an environment other than
development or you are violating your license agreement. Otherwise
this functions exactly as Enterprise Edition.
The Dev version can be purchased for under $50 and here is just one link

I already have SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition on my laptop. One of the databases that we are using is SQL Server 2012. I can't modify the stored procedures. I have to log onto the server to use Management Studio 2012. It is kind of a pain. Is it worth putting a named instance on my local machine to use Management Studio 2012? What sort of problems might I run into?
If you only want to install Management Studio 2012 on your local machine you can do that without having to add another instance. Just start the install and select only the management tools when you get to the feature selection.
I'm actually doing it myself as I wanted to take advantage of some of the improvements in SSMS 2012. We don't have any production servers running 2012 yet, but I still do all my SSMS work in the 2012 version even on the older servers.
To answer your core question however, putting a second instance of a different version is fully supported by SQL. Microsoft doesn't have a 2012 version of this article yet but the information is likely to be pretty much the same for gotcha's and things to keep in mind about side by side installs.

My company purchased Visual Studio Pro 2008 last year, which had a 'free' copy of SQL Server Developer, which I have been using for development.
We are wanting to upgrade the copy of developer edition to enterprise (As we now want to use the server as a production server), and have purchased the licenses for this.
Now... Morally we're in the clear... However does this comply with MS licensing T&C's?
We have Developer installed how we want it, and don't really want to uninstall SQL Server Dev just to install SQL Server Ent. Is there a way to transfer the license key to our Enterprise key without having to reinstall?
Thanks,
JD
Upgrade from Developer to Enterprise is a supported upgrade path, so you can simply install the new bits on top of the existing ones (provided your Developer is still at RTM and haven't patched any SP or CU on it).
Whether the license you purchased covers the use of the developer edition for business purposes, it is not explicitly called out in the Licensing document and I can't answer that part.
Here is an msdn article that should help
