Is fastcgi_max_temp_file_size 0; and fastcgi_buffering off; the same ?

If no what is the difference between those two

No.

The first one switches off buffering to disk.

The second one switches fastcgi module to the unbuffered mode. In
this mode all data read will be immediately delivered to a client.

See Module ngx_http_fastcgi_module for details.

For video streaming which option will be the best according to you

I currently use fastcgi_max_temp_file_size 0

fastcgi_connect_timeout 60;
