I want to know about infopath and also whether it is good to use instead of webparts or not ?
below link is "Introduction to Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007"

Infopath is a MS Office tool/program that lets you define and use XML based forms.
Start here with wikipedia.
Integration with SharePoint
The most common usage of InfoPath is
to integrate it with Microsoft
SharePoint technology using InfoPath
Form Services (included in the
enterprise commercial version of MOSS)
or as the separate Microsoft Office
Forms Server 2007 product. In
SharePoint, a "Form Library" can be
created and developed by using
InfoPath. InfoPath fields will be
exported as "Columns" in the library
and can be directly read in SharePoint
or be used as part of web services
results in workflow development.

We have a SharePoint 2010 list where a custom field "Lookup with Picker" has been implemented through a farm solution. We need to migrate the list to SharePoint Online but since we cannot deploy farm solutions in O365 environment, is there a alternative or workaround to implement that custom field in SP Online?
You could use JSLink to change field render for classic view in SharePoint online.

I am new in SharePoint development. Right now I am working on a project for the Integrated Management System. We need to provide an easy navigation view for users where they can search and view the document in one place.
Is there any built-in web parts specifically for IMS available in SharePoint?
Or any web part available for document master-detail view, like a list of the document on the left side and selected document displays on the right side.
Or do I need to completely depend on the new SharePoint page development?
If you are using SharePoint 2016 on-premises and Office Online Server,
the users can find documents using SharePoint Search, and view into the documents using the hoverpanel.
Please see this blog post (the blog-post has a focus on SharePoint Online, but SharePoint 2016 and Office Online Server provide this feature on-premises as well)
I want to call custom my REST WCF service deployed in SharePoint ISAPI (_vti_bin) folder from within an InfoPath form that was migrated from SharePoint 2007. The form opens just fine in InfoPath Designer but the REST API option is not available to me for some reason. It seems its disabled from somewhere.

Try select "From Web Service" in the Ribbon:

My company is converting to Microsoft Office 365 and I have been tasked with migrating a JAVA program I wrote to update employee profiles in a MySQL database (a list of their accomplishments and areas of proficiency) to update the same information on Office 365 Sharepoint profiles. I am used to dealing with UNIX favors and not as familiar with Microsoft. Does anyone have suggestions on where to read up on Sharepoint and how to update user content with an external program?
Not sure if this will help you or not. It is the msdn page for sharepoint 2013 profiles.

Does anyone know how to prevent users from editing an InfoPath form in Design mode? Users are storing InfoPath forms in SharePoint and it seems that anyone can edit the form in design mode and we need to be able to lock that down.
The only way to stop that from happening is to publish the form template to a place they don't have access to. I usually publish them to the "Forms Template Library" at the top level site; and lock down access that way.
edit: To clarify, users cannot open a previously saved form and edit the template that way. They must be able to get their hands on the physical "Form Template" and that's what you have to lock down.
There is a Group Policy item that you can disable the design button.
