Please find my response below:

1] What Format configuration image can i used for via above method of programming? like .sof, .rbf, ..pof, etc?

You may use JIC, RPD and POF for Active Serial configuration scheme.


2] Can i use POF file converted from sof file with setting as configuration device = S25FL128 and active serial mode , on a Flash memory S25FL256 ? is that feasible?

Can.


3] we want to have to different set of configuration image on S25FL256L qspi flash at location (0x0000_0000 & 0x0100_0000 respectively) so can we have option in question 2 above? can use compress image file in QSPI?

Yes you can.
