In one turn you have a Standard Action, A Move action, and a Minor action.
You can convert a standard action to a move action, you can convert a move action to a minor action.

So you can:
Standard, Move, Minor
Move, Move, Minor
Move, Minor, Minor
or Minor Minor Minor

The amount of powers you can use depends on the action it takes to use the power. Different powers use different actions.

Yes you can.

On your turn you can potentially use a "standard", a "move", and a "minor" action but it doesn't matter which order they're used in. You can also downgrade your potential for a lessor action (i.e. you can use your potential standard action to use a move or a minor action instead). Likewise, you can give up your potential move action to use a minor action.

For instance if you wanted to use 3 minor actions (not very common) you could sit in one place (give up your move action) and give up your standard action and do 3 minors instead. Again order is unimportant. Other examples: You can move, standard, minor. You can minor, standard, move. You can move, minor, move. You could minor, minor, standard.

What you can't do. You CAN NOT use a lower potential action to use a higher action. You can't do 2 standard actions because you can't give up your move or minor to do a standard... it only works the other way around. Likewise, you can not do 3 move actions.

So an other thing, about action points ,
it says "Gain an Extra Action: You gain an extra action this turn. You decide if the action is a standard action, a move action, or a minor action." in PHB.

So when i use my action point i get to choose one of the action types. It is not like starting a new turn ?

Nope. Still the same turn.

Not only as Jack99 points out, but you don't do any of the end-of-turn stuff until after the action point is used. That is, no saves yet, no end-of-turn ending of effects, etc. The fact that the action point precedes saving throws is important because you can't wait till you save versus, say, a domination, and then decide to take an action point and do something useful that round.

And on the positive side, you gain the benefits of any buffs that last until the end of your turn.

And on the positive side, you gain the benefits of any buffs that last until the end of your turn.

In addition, its often beneficial to use your action point at the beginning of your turn, especially when you reach paragon and get AP benefits.
