Is there any way I can work on a Tortoise SVN repository from a Mac? Could I download a Mac equivalent and work on it without issues? It would be for Unreal Engine 4 if that is relevant.
You can use whatever SVN client you prefer; Tortoise SVN is strictly an interface on top of subversion, not subversion in it's entirety.
SVN Clients like Versions or SmartSVN are compatible SVN clients for MacOS. Conversely, you can install subversion and use strictly the command line tools if you prefer. Versions is pretty highly regarded from my experience with users on MacOS with subversion clients.

My team uses Tortoise SVN on Windows, since I'm using Mac, I need version control software for mac so that it doesn't conflict with Tortoise SVN. In other words, my teammates would be checking the code through Tortoise SVN and I'll be checking in the code using some other software. Is it possible? Which version control software can I use? Can I use Git and other team mates can use Tortoise for same codebase?
Did you try to install svn without Tortoise. Tortoise is only a graphical interface for svn. Probably this may help:
Command-line SVN client for Mac
You may simply install it with brew.
Otherwise install it with a graphical Interface:

I am setting up SVN for a programming project. I downloaded the binaries, set my PATH variable and can now use SVN from my command line.
After installing a plugin for VS2015 (VisualSVN) it informed me, that i did not install TortoiseSVN and am losing some functionality. I never heard of it so i googled it and it says, that TortoiseSVN is a client that incorporates SVN into the windows explorer.
Now i am kinda confused. Can i work with the binaries only, using the command line (clone repo, commit, push, pull, etc), or do i have to install some kind of enhanced client?
The command line utilities can do everything you mentioned. VS2015/VisualSVN is telling you you could have greater integration with the IDE if you had TortoiseSVN installed. I install them both on my machine. Sometimes the CLI is better and sometimes the GUI is better depending on what I'm doing.
I have been using Tortoise SVN in windows using a local repository(copy also available in dropbox). Now for sake of work I have to migrate to Mac OS. Tortoise SVN is unavailable for mac and hence I decided to use SmartSVN. I have copied the Tortoise repository to my mac system. However I am not sure how (If it is even possible) to checkout the project files using SmartSVN.
Also is it possible to browse the tortoise repository using smartsvn.
Please advice.
PS: I am new to Mac and not experienced with smartsvn.

Just point SmartSVN to the repository using file:// access scheme. It doesn't matter whether it's TortoiseSVN, SmartSVN or a command-line client -- the repository itself is a regular Subversion repository and neither of these tool should have any issues accessing it.
I installed and configured a Visual SVN server on Windows Server 2008. I was also able to install Tortoise SVN on Windows as my client tool. I'd like to get a client tool similar to Tortoise SVN for Linux and Apple operating systems.

Few questions related to these installs...
(1) What is the recommended protocol for a repository, and what are the differences between them (ie: https, svn, etc..)?
(2) Do Linux or Apple operating systems require a specific protocol?
(3) What are the recommended Linux and Apple client SVN tools to connect to my Visual SVN Server? Right now, I only have Tortoise SVN configured on Windows as my client tool for checking in/out source code.
For Linux, try http://rabbitvcs.org.
For MacOS, XCode should support SVN. Check out this link, too: http://alternativeto.net/software/tortoisesvn/?platform=mac
Assuming you're developing, too, the Eclipse SVN plugin is a Pop Favorite on all platforms.
VisualSVN Server supports only HTTP(S) access. HTTPS is recommended since it's secure.
No.
At work we're using SVN as the central repository and I've been using git svn to update/commit my work.
Now that I'm comfortable with using Git on the command line I'm looking for a good visual Git tool that has good support for SVN.
There are quite a few Git tools but none really talk about SVN support so I'm looking to the community here for their experience?
SourceTree is the best I've seen. It also supports SVN integration.
I've also used Tower but SourceTree is better in my opinion.
