Is there any way to add in a custom control such as a textbox or button into a messagebox for windows phone 7?
The Windows Phone Assets project on Codeplex has a NotificationBox cutom control which is described as:
Notification Box is a replacement for the non-customizable Windows Phone MessageBox native control. The NotificationBox custom control has Control Template, and is fully customizable, providing freedom for picking different user actions.
The example code on there shows how to have your own buttons on the form, and I'm sure you could use it as a base for adding textboxes as required.

I wanted to know is there any way I can achieve the same behavior of CheckBox we have in our windows phone outlook. In a listbox I have checkbox on every item but it should appear only when I touch and hold.
Please see the windows phone email program where your touch and hold in the left side and see all the checkboxes.
Thanks

What you're looking for is the MultiselectList control, which is part of the WP Toolkit...
Here are a a couple of tutorials from GeekChamp to get you started:

How to get the Tapped Item in a MultiselectList control
I would also recommend downloading the source code for the WP Toolkit which contains a sample app that uses all the controls and features:

I need a message box like control that looks like a bubbling popup. Like the speech bubble message from the phone.
Can someone recommend such control? How can I achieve this effect in Windows Phone?

Each time I create a new screen (by selecting "Create a connected screen") I get a xaml file which is of type UserControl rather than ChromePage. How can I add new Windows Phone pages? I dont want it to be a UserControl.
When you create a SketchFlow Windows Phone application you are actually working with the desktop version of Silverlight. This is for ease of sharing/review for reviewers of the project. You are not actually creating a Windows Phone application, so the types are for the Desktop Silverlight version.
I want to show any screen as a dialog. This is my main requirement, but if this is not possible second thing is: I have to create one custom dialog which contain different UI.

I have a screen with a form, in some situations, I want to show a popup style menu. How could I do so without affecting the layout of the form that is behind the popup?
I'd use the InputPrompt from the Coding4Fun Toolkit for Windows Phone 7. You can get details on how to do this in this blog post
A good choice as well is the Telerik option:
