What does the enforce streaming service encoder settings do?
If i have VideoCard from Nvidia, what codec if better for me x264 or nvidia?
What does the custom buffer size do?

Enforce streaming service encoder settings makes sure that you adhere to the streaming sites video requirements, here are the ones for Twitch but the others like YouTube and Hitbox have similar types of requirement.

Always leave this enabled is my advice wherever you are streaming to.

x264 is always best (IMHO) but needs more CPU, if you don't have a lot of spare CPU then try NVENC, no one can tell you which is best as the actual answer is "It depends". Experiment with both in your setup and see which one gets you the best results.

I don't know the answer to your last question but I would recommend not messing about with it unless you know what you are doing. I know for streaming this must be off, for recording take a look at this article for high quality:

Can Enforce streaming service encoder settings makes my stream better?

 

[Adrian Schofield]

It doesn't affect quality just the way that the video is delivered to the service you are using to stream. Like I say I'd suggest leaving it enabled and not think about it again :-)

Enforce streaming service encoder settings : when checked, default streaming service encoder settings should be overridden by values on this tab.

Or I'm wrong?

Edit:

Enforce streaming service encoder settings : when checked, default streaming service encoder settings should be applied instead of values specified on this tab.
