I want to write a program(no restriction on language) to extract data from facebook pages( name, website URL associated with facebook page, category that facebook page is listed in, Location of facebook page).
I want to know that is it possible to access data of all facebook pages in a particular area. Basically I know that we need ID of a facebook page to access data of that page. My question is how do I get a list of IDs of all facebook pages ?

Not possible.

I have a site where users create posts and customize a feed of content that they're interested in - something like a Twitter list. I would like to be able to push that content (and only that content) to them inside Facebook for possible inclusion in their newsfeed.
If the users are logged into my site using Facebook, and they have additionally liked my site's FB Page, is this possible?
I have read about post targeting, but that works at the demographic level. This content feed is per-user.
No, you can not target content on your Facebook page to specific, individual users.
You can target certain demographics or users with certain interests – but not individuals.
2 Part question
1) So I am trying to figure out the difference between "liking" something on pinterest vs "liking" a business. Is it the same thing?
2) I want to implement people "liking" different pages on my website (such as pinterest) and track which page has the most likes. Do I have to save and track that in my database or facebook API will let me see which pages has most likes based on some criteria?
TLDR: Yes, they are the same thing.
A Facebook "Like" is what is an Open Graph Action. Liking something from within the Facebook web interface or via one of the Facebook plugins allows an easy implementation path. Pinterest uses a custom script that initiates a built-in like action.
Both types of like require there to be an object with open graph metadata that Facebook can scrape to get the information that will be shared on a timeline. That metadata could be served by Facebook on an internal page, or by an external page.
As for getting the number of likes, yes you can. Each canonical open graph URL gets an id within the Facebook system. This includes objects within the Facebook system.
So, the Pinterest Facebook page has an id of 253591661347566. You can find this by querying https://graph.facebook.com/pinterest?fields=id
The Pinterest home page has an id of 185629821512802 according to https://graph.facebook.com/http://pinterest.com?fields=id. (Not urlencoded for clarity). You could replace http://pinterest.com with any other url, and get that pages id.
For any object that you know the id, you can get information on the number of likes it has by adding likes to the fields querystring.
If you've marked up your pages with an app id and admin information, you can see all of this and more through Facebook's Insights.
Say I have a Facebook page and there are n number of people who liked that page. Now I want to upload a photo on this page and tag all the people who liked that page. Is this possible? If so how?
No, for several reasons:
You can't retrieve a list of all fans of a page via the API
You can only tag friends of the current user whose access token you're using in photos
It's against policy to tag people in photos in which they don't actually appear
I am new to Facebook's Graph API and FQL. I want small information about the same.
I want to get List of all pages liked by any particular user.
I have used Graph API just to allow user to get logged in with their Facebook ID and Can access their wall but don't know much about rest of the this.
I searched on Google for same but got information about list of pages that user administrate that I don't want, I want full list which is like by them.
It's a connection property of the User object.

This is a two questions in one.
Is it possible to get the likes count to a specific page inside a website? As in if there's a like button without a specific target url, likes will be given to the address in the window.location.href; can this number be retrieved without an API key?
Is it possible to get the official Facebook page/page id if I only have the URL of the website? If i only have the URL / domain name (coca-cola.com), can I get the facebook page which is https://www.facebook.com/cocacola?
You can check the like count of a website by calling the Graph like the following:
https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://www.your-website.com/the-url-or-so
To your Question if you can get a Facebook Page if you are the owner of the Business:
Yes! Some times ago I've read an article posted by Facebook where this is described. If you are the owner of a company/business/brand you can ask facebook for the page transfer to your account. For that you must be the owner and your business is really large. When the names of the companies are the same you must have to one which is more popular.
Is it possible to get the likes count to a specific page inside a website?
If that page is in the Open Graph, yes.
Is it possible to get the official Facebook page/page id if I only have the URL of the website?
No, because there is no such thing. No one is obligated to have a FB fan page for their business, organization or whatever.
