    Do we need a Shared Storage(SAN) for SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn

    No, not for a standard AlwaysOn configuration involving replicas that are standalone installs of SQL Server

    Do we need to have independent storage on each node for db restoration.

    Again, same as above.

    If you have standalone instances as your AlwaysOn replicas they each have their own local storage, this can of course be SAN presented.

    do we need to install SQL Server 2012 on each of the node with same and independent instance

    Yes, a standalone instance would be deployed to each node that is to host an AlwaysOn replica.
