Look at following MySQL documentation:

SHOW VARIABLES

Following command will show you most of your desired information:

SHOW VARIABLES; 

Only version:

select version();

EDIT:

What is the difference between show variables and show status?

SHOW STATUS provides server status information like Connections, Opened_tables, Bytes_received, Bytes_sent, etc.

SHOW VARIABLES shows the values of MySQL system variables like time_zone, version, max_connections, etc.
