mizansinha007I am gonna school.

This is wrong. Gonna can’t replace going to there. You could say, however, I am gonna [going to] go to school.

mizansinha007"I am going to wait for Tina." Can I say this thus? "I am gonna wait for Tina."

Yes.

mizansinha007Can I use "gonna" in talking or totally it should be given up ?

Native speakers frequently pronounce going to as gonna, so it’s fine in conversation.

Hi mizansinha007;

There is a name for this non--standard spelling. It is called "Eye dialect" because it spells words (and phrases) the way we hear people say them.(whatcha doin, gimme, youse guys etc.)

Famous authors used eye dialect in writing stories because it made their characters more realistic, that is, speaking their own regional dialect.

However, it is wrong when used, for instance, here at EF, or wherever standard English is expected.
