Is the EV3 kit compatible with parts (motors, sensors, building pieces) from NXT 1 and NXT 2 kits?

To clarify from the previous answers, the older motors and sensors from the NXT 1.0 and NXT 2.0 kits will work with the EV3 intelligent brick, motors and sensors (though the newer EV3 motors and sensors are superior). Conversely, the EV3 motors and sensors cannot be controlled by the older NXT 1.0 and NXT 2.0 intelligent bricks. Additionally, the older NXT software cannot program the newer EV3 hardware (though the new software comes with this kit anyway). See this page on the LEGO site for more information: http://www.lego.com/en-us/mindstorms/support/faq, specifically questions 3.8, 3.10, 6.3, 6.5, 6.6, 7.4 and 7.5. Questions 9.5, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.4 are also relevant.

Does it support programming language such as C/C++, java, python?

It doesn't out of the box, but like the other versions, it sounds pretty hackable. I haven't done it on the EV3 yet, but check out this site: http://www.legomindstormsev3.com. They have pointers to all sorts of custom firmware that supports several different languages.

How many aa batteries

An EV3 rechargeable battery is available online for about sixty bucks. The www.legoeducation.us website or shop.lego.com both have it.

My set came without instructions except for TRACK3R. The description says it comes with instructions for 5 of these. Did I get a defective kit?

Your set is not defective. Mine came with the Track3R also. To get the other sets, you need to go to the website on page 39 and download the free program ( lego.com/mindstorms ) to get the rest of the directions. It is a little confusing, stick with it, it is fun.
