    During setup you can choose Standard or Datacenter
    Windows server 2016 iso download link.

    Assuming a retail product key

    I already have 180 days evaluation iso...what is the procedure to activate it using the product key?

    Dism /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /AcceptEula /ProductKey:12345-67890-12345-67890-12345
    (or ServerDataCenter)

    If I activated server 2019 product key for server 2016 during downgrade process then can I upgrade it back to sever 2019 if needed?

    Some downgrade info here.
    https://download.microsoft.com/download/3/D/4/3D42BDC2-6725-4B29-B75A-A5B04179958B/Licensing_brief_PLT_Downgrade_Rights.pdf
    the reseller should be able to help you obtain a downgrade product key. This process likely deactivates the 2019 product key but reseller's trained specialist will be your best resource here.
