I am trying to convert a shell script into a batch file but I am stuck at this place.
I am not quite sure how to convert this line into my batch file.
$(echo $(cd $(dirname $0)/../..; pwd))
I tried
echo %(cd %(dirname %0%)%/.../..; pwd)%
but I am not sure if I am right!

You can’t do command chaining like this in Batch. If I see that correctly, you want to get the absolute path of the directory two levels above the directory of the currently executed script. You might do this:
@ECHO OFF CD %~dp0.... ECHO %CD%
Which changes the current directory. To avoid that, use:
@ECHO OFF PUSHD %~dp0.... ECHO %CD% POPD
