I used CB for many years, but then switched to JomSocial, because JomSocial had 2 key features:

1. Chat bar module

This module allows you to quickly exchange messages as in the desktop version of Facebook.
This module is very easy to use and automatically sends new messages (if the chat form is open).
 
 

2. Notifications module
This module automatically displays notifications about new friend requests, new messages and other types of notifications, for example - notifications about new replies to your message from the forum (integration with Kunena) and notifications about likes and replies to comments on Joomla articles.
 

Will such modules be available in CB?
I'm interested in a chat module (like in Facebook, which is already in JomSocial) and a notification module (with integration for Kunena and JComments , or a built-in feature for commenting on Joomla articles from CB).
if CB will have a commenting feature for articles, then I hope there will be import of comments from JComments and similar settings as in JComments.

if these 2 modules will be available for CB, then I can go back to using CB on my website.

For notifications that's already available with CB Activity. Commenting is also already provided by CB Activity. You can have a comment stream basically for literally anything you want as it supports unlimited custom activity and comment streams. More details can be found on its addon page below.

For chat that won't be available until CB 3.x where we'll be doing the final rewrite of Private Message System into a live messenger, but there's a few chat extensions available that might be able to solve that need for you.

1) When I talked about notifications, I meant that I was specifically interested in a module with notification icons that I could place on any page of my website (not just the CB page).
 what I mean is, does CB have a similar notification module that would look like Facebook notification icons:

 

2) Is it possible to import all comments from JComments to CB Activity? my website has over 50K comments
3) when is CB 3.0 expected? as far as i understand, there will be a chat like in Facebook (desktop version)?
4) Is it possible to import all connections of accounts with social networks from the JFBConnect component into CB?

p.s. I used CB for more than 10 years, but due to some very important features I started using 2 other components (JomSocial & JFBConnect).

CB Activity provides that. It inserts one on profiles and you can insert one anywhere you want using the CB Activity Module. Can also display it using substitutions anywhere Joomla content plugins are supported. So basically you can display it anywhere you want.

2) Is it possible to import all comments from JComments to CB Activity? my website has over 50K comments

We've no import features for that, but depending on how the comments are stored in the database it might be easily doable with a database query.

3) when is CB 3.0 expected? as far as i understand, there will be a chat like in Facebook (desktop version)?

CB 3.x will be a gradual release with first release being a core MVC update to Joomla 5. So first release probably won't have this functionality yet. As for when this will be released I don't know. We'll have further details on CB 3.x in an announcement sometime in the next few months. There of course won't be a desktop version we don't make desktop or mobile applications here, but you could make one yourself with the API endpoints we plan to provide.

4) Is it possible to import all connections of accounts with social networks from the JFBConnect component into CB?

We've no import feature for that, but as with comments depending on how the data is stored it could be done easily with a query. That's just single sign on though and you'll probably be able to just continue to use it. CB Connect is our equivalent plugin for single sign on.
