can I write an OpenGL program in DOS?
I intend to write a PaintBrush-like app for use in DOS.
Can OpenGL be used here (to be specific can i use GLUT)?
If not what other libraries can be used for the same.
The app is to support only 2D operations.

Mesa (www.mesa3d.org) had support for DOS in the past, I am not sure if it is still supported.
Do not expect to find hardware accelerated OpenGL for dos though, you will have to stick to software rendering.

DOS from a window or the old DOS6.x no one is using now?

Pure DOS: never tried, I guess not. Emulated dos: sure, glut works only in that way and this also applied so SDL as well.
Maybe this should be posted in windows-specific forum?
