Have a look in the code snippet section for something like "rotate around object", I remember seeing that somewhere, also i know the darthster did something with polar coordinates in kentaree's programming challenges post, can't see your pic but I'm pretty sure that's the stuff you need to know

One more doubt, how can I texture the sky, like in the screenshots of "New Eternal Destiny Shots"?

You'd have to ask RPgamer to know for sure but one way is to just texture the backdrop, another is to put a skybox/skysphere in your world, textured with appropriate textures. THere are posts right in this section which deal with this
If you use the backdrop method, include some code to scroll the textures in the opposite direction to that of the camera's rotation
