If I have:
-squad 1 equpped with full metal armor and metal weapons;
-squad 2 equipped with some leather and training weapons;
And put them both to train in the same room;
Will they try to do sparring with each other or just stick to own squad, regardless of shared room?
This is important, because dwarf with worse equipment might get seriously injured when sparring with full metal one.

I've never had a case where a dwarf was injured while sparring (unless they fall off a ledge, but then why is your barracks placed on the edge of a high cliff).

Dwarves only appear to spar within their squad but its completely safe. Give them whatever weapons you see fit. Don't bother with training weapons. Multiple squads can indeed train in the same area. Leaving squads on active/training while assigned to strategically located barracks is also an excellent defense. Put the barracks at the entrance to your fort and your active duty dwarves will automatically engage anything hostile, and then train if there's nothing to fight.

I have had dwarfs training in the middle of the dining hall/meeting area. Occasionally one will accidentally dodge into a bystander but I have not seen any damage from the collisions. Bystanders get training in observation too.
