I have never learned a scripting language before...so I found the scripting tutorial by Chris Jones to be a little confusing to me. :-[
Can you suggest a book that would help me more to understand the language used in AGS?
Also, Can i use a VB script in (add script) in the editor?
If yes, does AGS supports all releases of VB? i mean VB 6.0, VB.NET etc...
The scripting language of AGS consists of commands tailor-made to the editor, meaning that you will find commands to move characters and objects or to start a cutscene. It is a set of functions specifically made to manage all aspects of an adventure game, and also some more generic functions.
The syntax, however, is pretty close to C++.
AGS doesn't support other scripts as far as I know, or maybe I understood you wrong. All you do is editing a text file in such a way that AGS can "understand" the contents.
Scripting in AGS isn't that hard once you get the hang of the syntax, though! If you found the tutorials confusing, I suggest you try to follow them anyway, add a little and get a solid understanding of the basics.
Best of luck! ;)

Any book, or website, that teaches you C, C++, Visual C++, C#, PHP, Java, or Javascript.

No.
Adding different programming languages together is bad news brotha.
