I want to create a Toggle component but it should be created in such a way that it can be used in various modules, please let me know how can I do this.
Plenty of ways to do so. You can use ready modules like react native paper or react native switch or if you want your own implementation you can use react native gesture handler and handle clicks and gestures on your own with a couple of views.

I am new to React Native development. I tried to recreate the below listview with react native and It failed. I just want to know if we can recreate below UI design with react native or the name of this listview type.
Thank You.
Yes, you can recreate such component in react-native, however, it would be too complex to discuss it here. You can look into react-native-snap-carousel, which is the closest open-source library to your case that comes to mind.
I am writing a custom component for a Windows 8.1 tablet application our team are mostly developing in React Native.
I've realised that some of the custom code we need doesn't naturally belong to any specific UI element. For example, we want a button to trigger the native Camera UI dialog (as in this CameraUICapture element sample). However, there's no reason this would necessarily be triggered from a button. It could be a callback from something else, it could be a click event on an image. I don't want to lock the function calls to a specific UI piece.
All the tutorials and demos I have managed to find so far for React Custom Components are explicitly for UI pieces, and require implementing a React View manager subclass to interact with React when the piece is loaded. Is this the only way to write native code accessible from a React page? Do I need at least a dummy UI element even to hook into functional code in the native layer, or is there another way?
It turns out the phrase I'm yearning for is "Native Modules".

I am new to React Native and want to be able to make my code where the user clicks on text and it takes them from an initial page and am very confused as to how I am supposed to do this and where to put what. Am I supposed to have separate files for separate pages? Thanks!
The Navigator or NavigatorIOS components are what you're looking for. Basically, your text elements need to be wrapped in an element like TouchableHighlight that has an onPress handler that utilizes the navigator.push() to navigate. Or you could jThis tutorial does a pretty good job describing how Navigation works on a basic level within React Native apps.
As to separate files for separate pages - it's not necessary, but as you develop your own custom components and your apps become more complicated, having them in separate files helps with keeping you
I have created a View where the NavigationBar comes from Obj-c(Native code) and the rest of the view comes from React Native.
Now in the react native view, i have a link which should show the content in a new screen with the navigation experience. I am able to show the content but unable to find a way to change navBar title and show back button on the navBar.
Can you please let me know how we can get access to NavigationBar(Obj-c) in ReactNative?
I don't believe React Native supports this. You cannot take an object created in one language and access it in another. It would be a better idea to create your navigation bar in your JS and use it throughout your app. That even allows you to propagate that UI to your android apps.
Is it possible to use React Native only for one view within the project?
I've successfully added React view for particular iOS app screen (using instructions from "Integration with existing iOS project" docs), but i don't know how to get data from that screen and call other (objective-c) code. For example I want to replace old storyboard-based Search Form to React view and then call storyboard-based screens when user clicks "Search".
Or it is intended to make all views in React and convert existing non-React views into 'native' components (very huge work for big apps)?
This is easily accomplished via the Native Module concept which is described here - https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/nativemodulesios.html
You can export obj-c methods to JS via a single call.
I've solved my issue in following way:
Create Native Module wrapper around NSNotificationCenter, so
javascript code could publish iOS events.
Subscribe for that event within ReactController-wrapper around React-Native code.
Raise event when user clicked «Search» (when we need to give control back to objective-c) with needed data to pass as dictionary.
Catch event, process data, open other controllers/etc
