Answer 1

Is there any clean installation tutorial

For Solr, see the SolrInstall wiki page. For SolrNet, see Mapping and Initialization in the wiki. Also there are some tutorials around such as this one.

must i use runsample.bat

No, it's not mandatory. runsample.bat launches the sample web app, you can use it for guidance or as a starting point.

Is there any problem reported about encoding?

If you use Tomcat, make sure to configure it properly.

Can i use for Non-English Languages?

Yes, you can. SolrNet is tested against Unicode.

I have a html column on my real database. Is there any issue to add it to Solr?

No, there are no issues adding html content.
