1) Is is possible to install EV 8.0 on same site as of EV 2007 ?--No
2) How we can move vault stores from Ev 2007 to Ev 8.0 without affecting client connectivity ?--you would need to use a third party utility like EV Tools Archive Shuttle
3) How we should proceed with indexing on new server ? --Indexing would occur as the ingestion of the moved archive is occurring
4) How we can migrate SQL data from old SQL 2005 to SQL 2008 server with same scenario as of EV ? --It is quite easy to move sql databases, see the following technote. http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/273272.htm
5) How we can upgrade Exchange Conenctor for EV 2007 on CAS serevr to new version of plug-in of Ev 8.0?--You will need to follow the steps in the Setting up Exchange Server Archiving pdf to set up OWA.
5) If we need to take downtime how much shold I ask for this activity?--how many EV Servers do you have?
Personally, I would not try and go the route you are taking. I would do an inplace upgrade during a maintenance window when EV can be offline for a bit. If you only have 1 or 2 servers it will not take long at all normally.

I would....
Build my new shiny server, perform a data only DR to this new tin. Then upgrade the new tin.
This way you keep all user data seamlessly. You do not need a 3rd party tool, such as Procedo or TransVault (sorry Tony couldnt resist).
This way everything stays inside EV realms as opposed to adding cost to your process.
