It's sometimes difficult to read, but the phrase is the US motto E Pluribus Unum ("Out of many, one") that appears on all American coins.
That depends on the type of nickel and the date. On the updated Jefferson nickel 2006-present, the mark is on the front just below the date. On the 2005 nickel, it's below the word "Liberty." For nickels dated 1968-2004, the mark was below the date. 1938-42 and 1946-64, it was on the back, next to Monticello. 1942-45 were the silver "war" nickels, with the mint mark in a larger size above Monticello. Going back to buffalo nickels, the mark was on the back, right at the bottom.
That's a silver war nickel. On average, it's worth about $2, or upwards of $4 if uncirculated.

The large "P" above the dome means it's a "war nickel" that is struck in 35% silver. The nickel was removed for the war effort and silver was used as a replacement, this was done from 1942 - 1945. Because it has a small amount of silver the value is about $1.00. NOTE: The 1942 war nickel is the first US coin to ever use a "P" Mintmark.

No such coin. Buffalo Nickels are very different from war nickels. Buffalo (or Indian Head) nickels were struck from 1913-1938. The Jefferson nickel series started in 1938 but in the years of WW II nickel was needed for the war effort so the government replaced the nickel with silver in the Jefferson nickels from late in 1942 to 1945 creating what is now called "War Nickels" these coins are identified by large mint marks on the back of the coin above the dome of Monticello. The Jefferson nickel returned to the prewar composition in 1946 and is the same today.
The horn tip is in the same place on the buffalo's head on all buffalo nickels, almost directly above its eye, where the horn would protrude from the animal's skull in real life. Unfortunately design problem caused the horn to wear off rather quickly so most circulated buffalo nickels show at most a partial horn. If all of your buffalo nickels are too worn to see the horn easily, you can use any search engine to look for images of unworn coins. E.g. search for "buffalo nickel pictures" or "buffalo nickel images".
It sounds like you have a bullion piece based on the famous Buffalo Nickel design. It would sell for about the same amount as 1 oz of silver. The price of silver changes daily so check your newspaper's business section or put the words SPOT PRICE SILVER into any good search program.
