Can you create trial shorter than subscription period in PayPal?
Say, subscription period is 1 month and make trial 2 weeks.
It looks possible, but is it really on practice?
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/
Yes indeed, we do this, the subscription is monthly and the trials are weekly.
Easy enough to test in the sandbox.
Here is the code for PayPal Subscription button with period 1 month and trial 2 weeks.
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">

I implemented a Paypal HTML button (payment and subscription) to direct the client to the Paypal site to make a payment. Also, I pass the invoice # as a parameter. According to the following documents, invoice is a pass-through variable.
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx-websitestandard-htmlvariables/#
https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/en_US/developer/docs/pdf/archive/PP_subscriptions.pdf
In fact, I do receive all parameters (including invoice) as a POST call when testing on my sandbox account. However, when I test on live payments (non-sandbox account), the invoice is not received. However, I receive other payment information such as item_number, custom, transaction id, etc. Also, with live payments, the information is passed through a GET call instead of a POST call.
In summary, why do I receive the invoice parameter from sandbox payments but not with live payments.

I used https://requestbin.com/ to collect the IPN Callbacks. Here is the screenshot with the invoice:
Make sure you are correctly implementing IPN listener request-response flow.
Your listener should return an empty 200 message back to Paypal to these addresses;
https://ipnpb.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr (for Sandbox IPNs)
https://ipnpb.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr (for live IPNs)
After that you get a VERIFIED message along with parameters.
Make sure to include invoice input (which seems like you already did) in the form.
The invoice is optional and is not passed back to you by default.
There is also an IPN simulator which you can try and make sure your listener is working correctly.
Here is a complete example on how to process IPN messages:

What should i also add here so that i can get cancel and back to the buyesr's site option?
Q2- How i will add direct credit card payment rather create paypal account ? please help
i want to show like this
You've misspelt it. It is 'cancel_url'.
on the checkout page, look for the 'cancel_return' hidden form element:
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" id="cancel_return" value="" />
set the value of the cancel_return form element to the URL you wish to return to:
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" id="cancel_return" value="http://royaltytech.in" />

Based on the note for AMT on this page, it looks like this is a PayPal restriction (I would assume Payments Standard would have the same restriction)
Note: For recurring payments with Express Checkout, the payment amount
can be increased by no more than 20% every 180 days (starting when the
profile is created).

or Paypal subscription button
I am currently working on a Paypal subscription page where the user can select from a number of subscriptions (radio buttons). Each radio button has attributes with the values I need:
<input id="4" class="packageRadio" type="radio" value="4" data-desc="6 month package" data-type="M" data-period="6" data-amount="240.00" data-count="2" name="package">
When a user selects a package a jQuery click event function on the radio button adds the required values to my Paypal form.
