Visual Studio 11 Express for Windows 8 is only for WinRT?
Can I build regular .NET Applications in Visual Studio 11 Express for Windows 8? I can't find the common project templates, like Console Application, Class Library or Windows Form Application.
Is there, or will there be, another Express for these kind of projects?

No, the current beta VS11 Express edition only supports creating Metro apps. Whether the RTM edition ever will support old style apps requires a crystal ball. I doubt it.
You'll need to use the VS2010 Express edition if you want to create legacy apps.
