There are a lot of useful apps already available in the app store and I don't want to reinvent them just because i think they'd be useful to be part of my app. So I'm wondering whether it is possible to sell them from within my app, whereby the user can purchase them without leaving the comfy confines of my app. Any idea about this? Or will the user always have to head over to the App Store to get their hands on them?
On a side note, it would be nice if i could get some commission for selling them within my app (can't imagine Apple would allow that though).
No this is not possible. Best you can do is redirect the user to the app store app from within your app to the app the user wants more info on.
That's a question for Apple. You might check out Apple's In App Purchase Programming Guide.

Is this possible? I would like to create a service that would make it easy for people to create Newsstand Magazines.
So in other words, they'd put in the content for the magazine in my service and I'd release it for them in the app store. Would this be possible, or would Apple say no to this? What do you think?
You'd have to release an app for each person that signs up. There is no way to automate this process and add apps to Newsstand (you would have to submit each app manually). The only possibility is to create a Newsstand app that downloads magazine info from your site, and then displays the various magazines to the user. However, Apple could reject the app since it mimics core system functionality, and it is a very unprofessional way for the magazines to reach their audience.

Let's assume that somehow my company manages to get the Developer name changed in the Developer Account at the App Store. In this case, what would happen to the existing apps:
Will the existing apps remain happily at the App Store without any effect?
Will I need to get new certificates from the Developer portal?
If yes, will I need to submit a new build of my Apps to the App Store?
If yes, will the bundle identifier of my subsequent releases would be different?
If yes, then how would the users be able to get updates to the apps?
Any help would be great!
I asked about it here, and we made renaming.
Non of our apps were forced to be resubmitted. We used all certificates with old names and it worked fine. I can't provide info about legal information that we send to Apple (not a coders did that), but one day we just saw another company name in the App Store and we did nothing to our apps.

I haven't post my app to the app market yet, so i am just wondering if a user buys our app, would it be possible to charge him for every upgrade or every upgrade has to be free.
I ask this question because our company has to make the decision whether we keep adding more features to the app or we make different apps to do different things and charge our clients accordingly.
Thanks for reading.
No, you cannot (currently) charge for updates.
You might consider unlocking additional functionality using in-app purchase.
It depends on what you mean by 'update.'. In the case of maybe a database, dictionary-type, or even a game (possibly, though unlikely), app updating some kind of database (SQLite, XML, etc.) is allowed, but downloading code is a no-no as stated in the developer guidelines. If you must charge, the downloading of a database is the only possible way, otherwise in-apps will fill the gap.

Is there a way to track visitors to the App Store? I'd like to find out how many people are viewing my app's App Store page. Thanks.
No way to see how many App store visitors you get for your App unless they buy/download your App (or leave a review), but check out the iTunes Connect App. It is one of the best ways to track everything you can track about your Apps.
The [iTunes Connect] app goes into good detail, allowing you to break down sales by
day, week, month and six months. Complete with graphs that display
sold units and updates, you can also see how your apps are doing in
all the markets they are being sold in.
Unless they post a comment, you can't know who is visiting your page.
There are third party services too that give in-deapth analytics. A few to name are:
http://www.flurry.com, http://www.appannie.com and
http://www.appfigures.com

I am trying to making a Music App Integrated with In-App Purchase where User can buy audio File?
Is In-App-Purchase Allow user to buy Audio File ????
It is allowed, yes. However, there's no specific API for the selling of audio files, just an API that can be used to sell whatever content you like (with usual apple caveats). You'll need to have an apple developer account set up to sell paid apps to be able to build and test apps with in-app purchase. Read through the docs at https://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/inapppurchase/
.. it's something that'll take some time to get right, and much too complicated to explain in full here.
