Can any one Predict the products of these reactants and then balance entire reaction given below,

Below is my tried balanced reaction only,
   
Na3C6H507 + 9NaCl =  Na2C6H7O7Cl + 8NaCl+Na2O+2H2O

Why do you think there will be a reaction?

Na2O+2H2O

Is it possible at all to have these between reaction products?

Since you've put NaCl on both sides of your reaction, do you assume the NaCl is some sort of catalyst?  For what, sort of reaction, exactly?  Also, like Borek: said, you're taking two common, stable solids, and assume by mixing them in water, you get a solid that can't exist (you have a disodium citrate -- but two more H, one to replace the Na and another to go -- where?) and something that reacts with water.  If the world worked like that, we would all be in constant danger of an aggressive reaction.  And we're not, generally.  So it won't, logically.  You're really going to have to explain better how you came up with this reaction.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

if you balance this one
Na3C6H507 + 9NaCl =  Na2C6H7O7Cl + H2O,
it will may be helpful

The reaction you want to solve is imposible. You have one more hydrogen on the right side so its not balanced and I dont see a way how to do this reaction. You are mixing 2 salts and they just dont react.

This reaction is the closes to Na3C6H5O7 + 9NaCl +2H2O =  Na2C6H7O7Cl
Note that Im just a student but I dont think its possible to make such compound. Or at least not by reacting it with NaCl

You can write whatever combination of elements you like, and it can be even balanced - it doesn't mean there exists a reaction like that.

You don't produce acid chlorides by reacting a salt with NaCl.

Oh yes it was just the visualisation of the equation written by OP. To show that its imposible to do

If we try to make to react NA3C6H7O7.2H2O with NaCl then what shall be the balanced reaction and at what temperatures and pressures shall be ?

You were told/suggested that several times - they don't react, so there will be no balanced reaction.
