Does Chromebook run full android OS. It might be good option for starter laptop than.

Chrome OS is not Android. It's a simplistic OS that does all tasks that the average consumer would need to do (Homework, email, and browsing). It does require internet connection though.

It may visiually look like Windows, but it is different. No windows program will run on it.

Not any more. Notice it has a SSD and all google services now have an offline mode. It can work like any other PC. You could use this as a student and work offline when needed then connect and sync with Drive when available.
