Is there any description about SAP DB tools and modules, their designation,
relation to each other, description of parameters (some of them are really
cryptic), requirements to use, internal structure? Any information about
system itself from programming point of view? Anything at all. Anything
about the system, not from SQL user point of view, but from the system
development.
The page http://sapdb.2scale.net/moin.cgi/SourceCodeDocumentation contains descriptions of what kind of information is available. Other than that, you'll probably have to ask by stating a specific goal you want to achieve.

I am very interested in "raw" use of DB. Like: get sources, build them and
what then? Where to begin? What registry variables are required? How to
initialize everything without using of a setup program?
The development tree registers itself during the build, so it shouldn't be necessary to edit the registry by hand. This is done by dbmcli calls (grep sys/desc for them). If you want to create a database from your build tree, you can use the create_demo_db.cmd script if you replace the line
set INSTPATH="..."
with
set INSTPATH=%INSTROOT%
(%INSTROOT is set to %OWN%/usr in iprofile.bat)

I've started a description of all the executables in the distribution at http://sapdb.2scale.net/moin.cgi/WhatIs. The programs for both /depend/bin and /indep_prog/bin are generated into %OWN%/usr/bin.
