  1. What do we call the hole? The hole is a piercing.
  2. What do we call this kind of earrings? The clips are called "clip ons"
  3. What do we call the kind of earrings with a needle to go through the hole of the ear? Pierced earrings have posts, not needles.
  4. What do we call the kind of earring coming with a tiny screw to secure the earrings in place (no clip, no needle) I can't picure this.

"I saw some Indian having a ring :

  1. on the nose" In India it's called a "nose flower" (nakphool in Hindi)

If you mean the earrings for ears that are not pierced, they're called ear screw(s).

Picture here.
