Somehow I have the feeling that I am not the only one scratching my head with FB documentation. There seems to be quite a lot of overlapping features in APIs and I cannot tell whether something is going to be deprecated or not.
How can I find the current best practices? And any recommendations of FB technology blogs etc?

FB dev blog? http://developers.facebook.com/blog/
They are pretty up-to-date and talk about recent changes to Facebook APIs..

Just found this:

There seems to have been a backlash from users when Spotify (link below) required users to login with their FB accounts (perhaps only because they were paying customers?). Are users generally adversed to this? What has been your experience?

It depends on the site. People aren't particularly trustful of facebook, though they use it all the same.

I saw some frameworks and wanted to know which one is the best.
Raw PHP, .net, Java...? Another?
I would answer this question with another question:
Which is the language or framework
you are more comfortable with?
But if that does not answer your question, and you prefer to try some other language/framework to develop Facebook apps, I believe the best you can do is take a look at the Facebook developer site and check which SDK they offer.
You're going to get a lot of different answers here. Depending on what people prefer to use, they'll say it's the best.As long as you can get what you want done, go with what you know.

Just want to look at how things are implemented for learning purpose and may even contribute something along the way. So is there any open source facebook clones out there ?
Thanks
Searching gives
Diaspora
OneSocialWeb
as starting points, a list of active distributed social media sites can be found here
This one is most polished right now: http://elgg.org/
Not exactly a 'clone' but Diaspora is an open source, decentralised, distributed alternative to Facebook.

Is it possible to port a certain full-blown website into its mobile version? If yes, how to do so?
The question seems to be a bit vague, but I would also like to get a vague idea as to how it can be done. The scalability issues and all.
There are commercial services available which will make creating mobile version of your site fairly simple, if not even a trivial task. For example check out http://mobify.me/
Some recent articles on this subject I found to be useful:

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/

I hope this will help in finding a good method to create mobile content.

Can anybody point me to a good beginner's guide for making Facebook apps?
Have you tried facebook developer articles?
The facebook developer forum is a good place to start as well.
I brought the book, Facebook Application Development for Dummies. I am in the initial stages but does look like it explains the basics really well.
