The Nicene Creed contains the Church's decision that God and Jesus are of "one substance" and states that the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father." A later western Church addition, not accepted by the Orthodox Churches, adds to this "and the Son" - the filioque clause.

The western Church unilaterally sought to amend the Nicene Creed, without authority of a meeting of all the bishops, by adding an obscure reference, "and the Son" - the filioque clause. This proposal triggered the Great Schism between the western, or Catholic, Church and the eastern, or Orthodox, Churches.

One bows one's head at the mention of Jesus' name as we are commanded to "bow the head at the name of God"; one bows (the upper body) at the incarnation "and was made man" out of respect for Our Blessed Savior coming to be one of us. This replaces the genuflection that was previously made at this point and is now only made on the Annuniation and at Christmas.

What Egyptian priest argues that Jesus was similar to but not the same as god the father His ideas forced the calling of the council of Nivea and the nicene?
Arius (250 - 336 AD).Arius asserted that the Son of God was a subordinate entity to God the Father.This was exactly what Jesus himself said in many verses of the NT, some below:You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I." [John 14:28]Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" [John 20:17]After 325 AD, the Nicene Creed however created a new Jesus speaking from both sides of his mouth "fully man and fully God":John 10:29: "...my Father is GREATER than ALL - Jesus speaking as man.John 10:30 "I and my Father are one" - Jesus 'claiming' to be God!
How are the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed similar to yet different from each other?
They are very similar. In fact, the Nicene creed is essentially a lengthened version of the Apostles' creed containing everything that the Apostles' creed has in it. There is only one exception where the Apostles' creed has new information: the Apostles' creed states that Jesus descended into the dead before rising in three days whereas the Nicene creed does not mention the descending of Jesus into the dead. Both creeds are used in Masses said around the world as an acceptable prayer that occurs after the Homily at the start of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is up to the local Bishop's preference. In the United States, the Nicene creed is used most typically. The Apostles' creed is typically used when saying a Rosary.
The original Nicene Creed says suffered and was buried and NOT suffered died and was buried therefore what is the Eastern Orthodox doctrinal position on the death of Jesus?
It does not need to specifically say it, because it is obvious that Jesus died first and then was buried. He was certainly not buried alive! Jesus suffered, died on the cross, was buried, and then the Creed says He "rose on the third day according to the Scriptures." So it is clear from the Creed that He died on the cross before being buried and then He was resurrected from the dead. This is also confirmed in the Bible, when the Angel of God said to the women at the Tomb of Christ: "And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead." (Matthew 28:7)
