is there an API or CLI Tool to display all HTML5 Applications and there current active version of an subaccount.
We need this for our build / deploy chain and work in the NEO Environment.

I am reading about and then trying to use IBM Bluemix. I have seen some confusing statement about MBaaS support on Bluemix. Some sites mention that Bluemix is a PaaS, and some places say it supports MBaaS. I have basic doubts: does IBM support MBaaS? If yes, where can I find the full MBaaS features list for IBM Bluemix? I couldn't find it in IBM site.
You're correct: Bluemix is a PaaS. However as you probably know and as you can see here:
Mobile backend as a service (MBaaS) enables you to quickly integrate
your mobile apps with data and functions in security-rich, backend,
cloud storage. MBaaS is usually delivered through a set of custom
software development kits (SDKs) and application programming
interfaces (APIs). MBaaS can offer you full data synchronization, user
management, push notifications, integration with social networking
services, and file-handling.
A PaaS provides SDKs and APIs and for this reason it can support MBaaS. In Bluemix the MBaaS capabilities are provided by the MobileFirst platform. It is designed for building and enhancing multiplatform, enterprise-grade apps that can be native or hybrid – for Android, iOS, and Windows. You can get started here.
Yes, Bluemix Mobile supports a Mobile Backend as a Service.
Here are the current services that we have that support the MBaaS pattern and a bit of information about them (and here's a quick graphical view and some links for how to get started):
Mobile Client Access
This service enables you to secure your Mobile Application. You can add Facebook, Google, or custom authentication to your application.
Push Notifications
You can add the Push Notifications service to send push notifications to your app on Android and iOS.
Mobile Analytics (Beta)
The Mobile Analytics service enables you to gather crash and usage knowlege about customers using your mobile app.
Cloudant NoSQL DB
The Cloudant service is the IBM NoSQL database to store your data.
Object Storage
The Object Storage service is an unstructured cloud data store where you can store things like images or files.
Mobile Foundation
The catalog also includes the Mobile Foundation service which you can use to create a test environment before deploying or purchasing the on-premise software. This service is another way for enabling a developer to create a mobile channel.

I've published a native android application which uses a services with response in JSON format. Now, I want to develop a Hybrid application using IBM Mobile first platform. I want to use the same service here in this case also. I'm not able to findout the mechanism to do so. Anyone please suggest me some solution.
I assume that you intend to build your hybrid app using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
You could directly call the service using standard JavaScript
XMLHttpRequest(serviceUrl)
But you probably will use some framework such as AngularJS - such frameworks really do pay off in the long run - and in which case you have nice APIs
$http.get(serviceUrl).then(doSomeWork);
However this raw JavaScript approach does not exploit the MobileFirst programming model. We tend to find that using a Mobile Gateway architectural pattern, where MobileFirst adapters act as the gateway, pays off as your application becomes more complex. The adapters provide a security model and can implement aggregation and filtering so that precious mobile bandwidth is used more efficiently.
Hence we recommend that you build adapters, as described in the links given by Idan, and then you use the MobileFirst API to call the adapters:
WL.Client.invokeProcedure( ... );
Starting MobileFirst Platform Foundation 7.0, both the JS framework (for Hybrid apps) and the Native SDK (for iOS and Android) provide REST support. You can accomplish this using either JavaScript adapters or Java adapters.
Read the following tutorials explaining how to use MFP adapters:

If you're interested in Java adapters as well, take a look at these videos as well:

Do i have the options of continuous deployment in wso2 api manager. For example - I have configured an API in test region & once API testing is done i need to promote the API to UAT region automatically rather than login again in UAT region configure the same API.
Currently we don't have that support. We have this feature in our roadmap.
You can do it by programmatically. write a java client to get the api details from one environment and then publish to the target environment using apimanager's publisher apis[1].

We are exploring IBM Mobilefirst capabilities with a mapping application. We are using Esri ArcGIS Mapping service.
Where can I find the available resources or sample tutorial to use Esri ArcGIS with IBM MobileFirst hybrid applications?
Not every available tool out there has guides for IBM Worklight/MobileFirst.
It looks like Esri ArcgGIS has a developer website.
You should start there: https://developers.arcgis.com/en/sign-up/?origin=developer
Read how to integrate it into applications.
If there are SDKs then you will need to integrate those like you would any other SDK - that is outside of the Worklight/MFP scope (the integration).
I would assume that if it an SDK, you could then add a Cordova plug-in that would allow you to access that SDK from your app, or even better you could use the Send Action feature to bridge between Web and Native and vice versa.

am new to API LM & confused about Building APIs using tools such as apigee, 3scale, mashery, mulesoft, TIBCO APIX etc
all these years , I know API is all about a language's API or SDK which you use to write/build code/application to solve a business problem. Say Java API or J2EE API etc
Do I have to build my own dataservice using my application/system and expose it as a service (WS/REST) and use the above tools (apigee, 3scale, mashery, mulesoft ec) or does these tools allow a developer to Build APIs from the scratch?
In other words, do I create your own application within your enterprise (be it Java based, DB or a .Net service or a Web App hosted on weblogic) and expose it as API for B2D or DX (with auth, analytics, portal, developer access) which is called as "build an API"?
When using Apigee Edge, you must expose your backend as an http/https endpoint first. Then, you can add security, caching, quota, and many other features to your API facade. When using the Apigee-127 product, you can create an entire backend using Node.js locally and then deploy it to run in the cloud.
