In Windows, you could simply make a .vbs script (Virtual Basic Script) by doing x=msgbox(). But is there a scripting language for Linux?
There is a text/curses program called dialog, which you can call from bash, which is a fine scripting language.
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/dialog.1.html
And you can try some examples,
$ pushd /usr/share/doc/dialog/examples
$ ./calendar

Is there any posix/thread related API that could help to make "a value change operation" thread-safe, without locking several statements?
Is there a posix API for Linux to do this?
GCC has atomic built-ins, __sync_val_compare_and_swap should be equivalent of InterLockedCompareExchange
If you use C++ 11, you can use std::atomic_compare_exchange_* in atomic operations library as needed.

Where can I find the time bash utility source code? Is there a website that allows to search for this code?
The time command is from the GNU project, so all of the source code is available there.
Specifically, you are probably looking for this: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/time/
The time command in Bash is built-in, so it should be found in the GNU Bash source code.
