You can't get the window id of a window that doesn't exist.

is it possible to embed a non qt application inside qt application by just knowing the path of the application( qt should invoke the application ).

It's quite hard to do that in general case, because there's no reliable way to get the window id, but some applications (for example mplayer) have special functionality that make embedding them easier.
