It appears that I can download Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate from this Microsoft Site, but I couldn't find any licensing related information (cost/keys etc) on that page.
Is Visual Studio 2012 free software?
The Visual Studio article on Wikipedia notes the license type as:
Express edition: Registerware
Other editions: Trialware
Not an authoritative source, I admit, but it would explain why it seems you can download it for free, because you actually have to register and pay (for the non-Express editions) at some point, or the trial would run out.
From what I've read, this isn't just a trial, but the main loss is not having an advanced MSDN membership. There are certainly paid versions and subscriptions, but it looks like this is genuinely free, albeit without some added support and benefits.
See http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Visual-Studio-Professional-2012/productID.254639600 and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/. A couple quick Google searches uncover many people who are just as perplexed as to why Microsoft would do this.

Me and my friend are planning on doing html/css/javascript development, and I was looking at Visual Studio Code as an option for working on this together. We live in seperate areas, and of course COVID-19 as well is here, so we need to do this remotely. I've seen that Visual Studio Code has Live Share, but that's not something that would work, as it requires the host be online to edit the code. Next, I found out about "Codespaces", and it seems to be good, but it would turn out to be quite expensive for us ($20-$30 a month), as we're still high school students. Then I thought of the idea to use GitHub with it, and just store it locally on my friend and I's PCs, and just do commits and pull requests on there and bring it in to our local machines.
So My Question: What options are there for remote collaboration with Microsoft Visual Studio Code?
Wrapping up this question due to its age. We've stuck with VSCode and using GitHub repositories and simply pushing, pulling, doing regular commits.

It is confusing with licensing about Xamarin. My Question is "If I develop an application using Xamarin", then can I use for commercial purpose?
Kindly suggest.
Since you ask about free, I assume you mean the Indie Starter edition.
From their FAQ:
For developers just getting started with Xamarin, we're introducing Starter edition, a freely-available version that supports device deployment and app store publishing for small apps with no third-party native library dependencies and less than 32k of compiled C# code.
(my highlight)
Since all editions above the Starter just add to this, then yes, you can use it for commercial purposes.
You should check that FAQ for a lot of other scenarios.
Here is a good news for you.
Xamarin for Everyone
You can Visit the Xamarin Store.
Build C# apps on Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac with Xamarin.(store)
Xamarin has also launched Contest: Get Answering on Stack Overflow
Because of this contest it is going to be easy for the new users to jump into Xamarin.
Depending on your company size (and some other restrictions), yes Xamarin in now free for commercial use. For more, information please see the following links:

I have to look at the Microsoft Sharepoint Designer, i have the Designer installed but to not assemble all the dependencies of Microsoft Sharepoint Server (windows 2008 server 64, sql server, etc, etc...) i'm asking if Microsoft (or someone) has a free site to provide us a Microsoft Sharepoint Server installed to test the designer on it, maybe exists?
Have a look at the virtual labs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/cc707678.aspx
Or download a pre-configured virtual machine with everything already installed:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27417
But the answer to your actual question I suspect is no. Sharepoint costs alot of money for an external licence, it's unlikely that anybody, even Microsoft, is going to open up a sharepoint server for you especially when they are giving away virtual machines that do just that. Plus all the dangers from hackers etc to the next user that comes along. Get the VM going.

What is difference between Windows Sharepoint Service and MOSS (Microsoft office Sharepoint). If I have the WSS 3.0 installed in my machine, I can create a sharepoint site, using Sharepoint Designer and Inforpath. Then why do I need MOSS 2007 (WSS 3.0 being free for download).
A lot of the added functionality (and improvements, seemingly specifically with Search at least) are gained from MOSS2007. Have a nosey at the full feature comparison on the MS site for further details maybe.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/SharePointtechnology/fx101758691033.aspx
Specifically, I think the Workflow and document management improvements are where you may get your 'wins' from. With a bit of a setup overhead initially, it can replace a number of otherwise complicated collaborative tasks which require a number of people.
SharePoint Services provides many features not included in WSS, some examples being Web Content Management (Publishing) and Enterprise Search.
MOSS also enables you to specify audiences for your lists. Which is quite useful in an enterprise environment.

I've just installed Resharper, and I really don't know how to use it "correctly".
I noticed that there are some demos and documents at their website, but I'm wondering..
..how did you learn to use it efficiently? Are there any other good resources(demos/tutorials)?
There is a series of screencasts on the Dime Casts website which are quite good as an introduction.
There is also the 31 days of Resharper and the official demos give you an idea of what's possible so you know to dive into the menu.
JetBrains is now offering one free month of access to the ReSharper Fundamentals course on Pluralsight to license holders. See Pluralsight and JetBrains Agreement for details.
This isn't just any courseware, it's a complete 3 hour course on how
to better master ReSharper, created by James Kovacs, JetBrains Academy
Board Member and long-time ReSharper user.
There is a ReSharper Workshop on GitHub.
It is a Visual Studio project that guids you through many features of ReSharper.
