George Bush did not declare war on Afghanistan as he can't; only congress has that power. War in Afghanistan was never declared by an act of congress. That being said, the current military action in Afghanistan began on October 7, 2001.
The first action was War in Afghanistan, The second was the war in Iraq.

A military action is an action carried out by armed forces. A military action could be just the National Guard helping flood victims or it could be the invasion of a city by military personnel.
Iraq is a law enforcement function: Restoring law, order and stability to the nation. Afghanistan is associated with law enforcement: Hunting down terrorists and bringing them to justice (dead or alive) due to the September 11, 2001 attack on the US.
NATO conducted military action in the Balkans conflicts to prevent the massacre of civilians, it has contributed to and lead the ISAF forces in Afghanistan, it has taken action to prevent terrorist movements in the Mediterranean and to protect maritime traffic from Somali pirates. It is currently engaged in action in Libya to protect civilians from Colonel Gadaffi's military.
YES. While no declaration of war was actually even drafted by Congress, Congrees did approve an AUMF. An AUMF is an authorization for use of military force against a specific target or for a specific purpose. In the case of Afghanistan, Congress approved an AUMF for the use of US military forces in Afghanistan.As for whether the Afghanistan invasion followed the international laws of war, this is much more debatable. However, since the purpose of the invasion was to hunt down an international criminal who was being given shelter by the current government, that can easily be seen as a justification for war.
