As SQL Server is available for Linux can I configure Clustering on Linux nodes? I mean mixed with Windows - some nodes are on Linux, others on Windows in the same cluster?

You can configure Corosync and pacemaker for Linux. Good luck.

I mean mixed with Windows - some nodes are on Linux, others on Windows in the same cluster?

In the same cluster, no. Someone will argue with me and say, "Well, Sean, you can do read-scale availability groups like this!" and that may be true, however it isn't a cluster.

The only way to do this would be to have two different clusters, spanned by a distributed availability group. If you want to make life complicated then this would be the setup to do it.

Yes - cross platform is supported for AlwaysON availablity groups. Microsoft recommends to use this only for migration and not for HA.

See - Configure SQL Server Always On Availability Group on Windows and Linux (cross-platform)
