I am developing an outlook addin that syncs my application(abc) contacts with my outlook contacts. I am unable to do it using javascript.
You may use EWS or Outlook REST API from your web-based add-ins. See EWS Managed API, EWS, and web services in Exchange for more information.
Note, Mail Apps are run in the context of a particular Outlook item. That's why I'd recommend developing a COM add-in instead. It can be run with Outlook and handle a lot of actions that users do to keep in sync with your application all contacts. See Walkthrough: Creating Your First VSTO Add-In for Outlook to get started quickly.

I am developing an excel add-in. Everything works fine but I would like to send the end result via email.
Is it possible to send a table range content with the outlook from excel addin?
Yes, it is possible. You can use the Exchange web services from your JS add-in. EWS is a SOAP based, XML protocol. There is no officially supported client libraries for JS, Outlook add-ins have built-in methods for making such calls. In case of Excel web add-ins you may consider using ews-javascript-api.
In case of Outlook add-ins you may find the Call web services from an Outlook add-in page helpful.
I need a Word custom task pane that will interact with WebApi. What VSTO template should be used- Web add-ins or VSTO add-in?
The vsto template that create the custom pane using Window Form can interact with webapi in any special manner or using HttpClient?
Any help will be appreciated.
If you are talking about COM add-ins (VSTO) you can use any BCL classes for interacting with web services. So, you may consider your add-in as a regular .Net based application. For example, see How to call web Service in Excel Using VSTO.
I have an infopath form template with code customizations, which involves 2 sharepoint lists. The form template works fine with online connections which uses WCF 's UpdateListItems process.
My question is how do I make it work offline? As WCF service updates only when the form is online. When the form template goes offline, how do I update the data to sharepoint workspace? I understand I need to use the Sharepoint Workspace to store the offline data before it is transferred when online connnectivity is resumed.
Thanks and Regards
With Microsoft introducing Office Web Apps it has made it easy for us to embed office documents in our custom web applications that will use the Office Web App to render the document. In order to generate the embed code there is an option of "Embed" in Sky drive as shown here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/web-apps-help/share-it-embed-an-excel-workbook-on-your-blog-HA102029502.aspx
There are Office Web apps available for SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013 this allows me to surface office documents within SharePoint using the Office Web app. What I want to do is use SharePoint as my document repository and be able to embed documents that are stored on the SharePoint server in my custom web application the same way I can do it for documents stored on the Sky Drive. There is any option in SharePoint to view the document in the browser but I cannot copy that link and add it to a web page on my application at it shows the actual SharePoint site.
All I want to do is use the Office Web App deployed on the SharePoint server to render documents that are stored on the same SharePoint server within an iFrame.
Wanted to find out if this is possible at all if so how do I achieve this on my SharePoint server 2010 or 2013 but would prefer to do this on 2010.
We have a requirement to access Outlook through Windows Store App (Metro) using JavaScript.

According to MSDN forum, there is no API to get/insert appointments from an app on the system to Outlook. If the appointments are server based (from Exchange, Live, etc.) you might be able to access/insert them through a web service.
