If you have namecoind running, you can type "namecoind getinfo"

Is it for windows ?

type where ?
in command prompt (after installation),
or in that namecoind if it has its own "window" ?

I am in bitcoin for a few months, but still can't even start with namecoin,
it is clearly not for a wide adoption ...
there should be some kind of website with simple download link

can you just tell me how many are mined yet,
2 milloion
8 million
or something like 300 k ?

are they being destroyed when domain is registered ?

lrn2search = learn to search.

And to execute RPC commands such as getbalance, you need to start namecoind as a server(with user and password).

Look at allchains.info for the blocks mined and difficulty. Multiply blocks mined by 50 to get idea of how many namecoins are mined.
