Google would have found your answers much more quickly than asking here....

1. Languages. Almost all of them.
2. It cannot READ video without extra hardware. Do you mean playback 1080p video files? In which case, yes.
3. Windows 10IoT is available, but not desktop Windows 10. Linux is the best supported OS.

What he said. Of course all of this could have been solved by the OP and some simple google-fu.

Which is here https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ and help is here https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/ or on this forum if you cant find what you need.

Spend some time looking around this web site. In the SBC world the Pi is special, with great community support, many free resources, and a well supported operating system provided which is very easy to install and use.

As long as you stick to what the hardware can do (the Pi has no analog I/O pins), you can do whatever you want with it. The most typical use is as a computer (bear in mind that "microprocessor" covers PCs and Mac as well as Single Board Computers), but that doesn't bar it from operating as a microcontroller. in the broadest sense it is a "general purpose computer."
