1) John kissed Sally, she blushing.

2) John kissed Sally, she blushing in consequence.

3) John kissed Sally, she having blushed at him.

4) He cursed at me from his car window, I honking at him.

5) He cursed at me from his car window, I having honked at him in return.

6) He cursed at me from his car window, I having honked at him.

Are these correct? Let, see an example- "Eating rice, I go to school." Here, the activities 'work' and 'go' both are done by me. I am familiar with this types of sentence. But I am not familiar with the sentences that are stated above. Would anybody like to describe about it?

Yes, I have seen this type of writing. But like David (the site moderator said) "You are using absolute constructions here in a way that they are not ordinarily used."

So why are you asking? Surely, you don't want to spend your days sorting out all these "exeptions" to English!

Learn to parse or diagram sentences. Most of your questions would be answered if you did.
