Hi,

Salaam Saeed.
 
I am very new Freeswitch.

Welcome.
 
Till now I've some experience with Asterisk.

Be prepared to be amazed.

Can someone explain me the following things:

1. Can I connect my TDM switch to Freeswitch? My switch can speak Dss1/ss7,
SS7 is more preferable

Currently, there is no open source ss7 implementation for FS. You can use Sangoma's SMG with FS though.
 
2. Is freeswitch similar to nextone SBC?
(http://www.nextpointnetworks.com/)

It can act as an SBC. See http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Specsheet
for more details.

3. Does freeswtich support codec translation?

Yes, it does for the supported codecs http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Codecs
 
These are very basic questions at start. When I'll go deeper into it then
there could be more questions.

Do read up at http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Main_Page
