One of our clients had purchased Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Online recently for implementation. As CRM 2015 Online is available now, is there any option for auto upgrade to CRM 2015, as no customization as been done so far. I couldn't find the information anywhere including http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/crm-purchase-online.aspx. What are the upgrade cost/discounts involved if he's going for an upgrade?
Online organizations are upgraded at no-cost.
You will find the scheduled timeframe for the upgrade inside the Office365 portal.
Here the relevant Technet page:

We are using the old Microsoft Dynamics (It is not part of the PowerApps site, so assuming it is the older version before that) portal and need to customize the header/footer for a specific page. How do I go about doing this? Any online resource suggestions as I am finding it difficult to find Microsoft resources online for an old Microsoft Dynamics Portal.
We are migrating from TFS 2013 to TFS 2018. We heavily used the SharePoint
integration in TFS 2013 to categorize and maintain version history of
related project documentation within permission-restricted areas. We would
like to migrate the documents and metadata from the SharePoint contents over
to SharePoint 2016 in some way that can still be relatable to TFS 2018.
Since TFS 2013 SharePoint contents are stored in the TFS database, is there
a way to migrate this data to a SharePoint 2016 database?
If not, is there another migration path available that would enable us to
continue having the version history, categorization, and permissions
features we need in TFS 2018?
TFS 2018 does not support Sharepoint integration.
Your statement "Since TFS 2013 SharePoint contents are stored in the TFS database" is not correct -- Sharepoint content is stored in Sharepoint. You can migrate that Sharepoint instance however you'd like. However, in TFS 2018, there will be no integration, so the TFS-specific web parts in your Sharepoint site(s) will not be functional.
You simply need to disable Sharepoint integration after the upgrade to TFS 2018. There is also an upgrade guide to get you to Sharepoint 2016.
I am working on an extension for dynamics.
Here i want to use dynamics api.
One client uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Rest API) and
another client uses Microsoft Dynamics 2013.
Can i use same api to serve both the clients ?
Currently i am using api's from
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/webapi/web-api-functions-actions-sample-csharp
Will it work for Microsoft Dynamics 2013?
The Dynamics 365 Web API did not exist in CRM 2013, so you cannot use that for both purposes.
Instead you can use the Organization Service (also called the CRM 2011 endpoint). The behavior of this endpoint has been relatively consistent (with some minor changes to how e.g. updates should be made) from CRM 2013 to D365.
Be aware that the Organization Service will be removed at some point in the future, but currently works just fine:
The Web API is intended to replace the CRM 2011 endpoint, also known
as the SOAP endpoint, for accessing the Dynamics 365 organization web
service and other provided web services.
As of the release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2016 Update 1 and
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 Service Pack 1 (8.1.0), the CRM 2011
endpoint has been deprecated. The 2011 endpoint will be removed some
time after the release of Dynamics 365 version 9.
No you cannot use D365 Web API for both.
I found this is useful for CRM 2013.

How do we access/view SSRS reports in SP 2013 (On-premise) from Office 365 SP site. Both SP sites in different domains.
You need to create and publish to a Reporting Library.
Here's Microsoft's documentation on the subject.
This is just the beginning stages and if you're unaware of this there's likely a lot more configuration needed on your farm to get this operating. I would strongly suggest bringing a SharePoint Administrator on board.
I use SharePoint 2013 and Performance Point Service for create Business Intelligence report.
I need more functionality in report generate.
I found that Power View in this scenario can help me but I do not know How I can install and configure Power View in SharePoint 2013?
You can enable Power View for SharePoint by installing and configuring the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint 2013. There is a good guide for installing and configuring the BI features of SharePoint 2013 here. If you already have BI features on your SharePoint farm, here's how to configure Power View.
Basically, you need to:
Install SQL Server 2012 SP1 CTP3
Uninstall Report Services - Native if you have installed it
Install Reporting Services – SharePoint & Reporting Services Add-In for SharePoint Product
Install Analysis Services In Tabular Mode and Data Tools Install SharePoint Reporting Service
Install and Configure Power Pivot for SharePoint
Configure Performance Point Services
Configure Reporting Services
Check SharePoint Power Pivot Integration
Be aware that the data source for Power View must be a Power Pivot model, SSAS Tabular Model, or SSAS Multidimensional model (Power View for SharePoint only, must have SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU4).
