Is it possible using VLC to capture and stream video of a single window or application than entire desktop screen of pc/laptop?

That's a new feature of VLC 1.1. With older versions, you need to specify the coordinates of the window you want to capture.

So how we can do it using VLC, what are the steps or command line options to stream a window/application screen?

In VLC 1.1, applications are listed under "screen capture" in the playlist dialog.

From where can I download VLC 1.1, latest binary available on videolan website is 1.0.3, and it doesn't show application option in either Playlist or Open Capture Device menus?

You can't. VLC 1.1 is still work-in-progress.
