officially SQL server 2016 is not supported with SharePoint 2013. Even you able to configured it with SP 2013 & SQL 2016 but if you see any issue in future...You will not get any support from MSFT. So it is risky. i would not recomend it in any scenrio. Only the following SQL Server versions are supported with SharePoint 2013: The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2012 The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2014 https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/stefan_gossner/2016/11/04/sharepoint-2013-and-sql-server-2016/

No there is no sharepoint foundation version for sharepoint 2016. You can use trial version of the server edition.
