Nitrogen is heavier than air, and is an inert gas - it will not burn or explode.In fact nitrogen is used to prevent fires in certain circumstances. Depending on the size of the leak, care must be taken not to inhale as the nitrogen will replace the oxygen thus causing suffocation. Ventilate before entering a building where gas leaks are suspected

If nitrogen leaks out from a pipe will it rise up of settle down?

The direction of trave of the nitrogen released will depend on the temperature of both the air in the room and the nitrogen. Cold nitrogen in a hot room will sink, hot nitrogen in a cold room will rise. If both temperaures are about the same the bouyancy will essentially be neutral as air is about 79% nitrogen

When using shower toilet bubbles then leaks now toilet is clogging?

As waste falls down a pipe it creates a positive pressure in front of it & a negative pressure behind it. To allow waste to flow down a pipe properly these presures are balanced via a soil vent pipe. Im not a builder, but sounds like there may not be a soil vent pipe on your system, or at least an 'air admittance valve' (AAV can sometimes be used if the soil pipe cant be taken externally).

How does liquid nitrogen mand leaking pipes?

It doesn't mend the pipe. The pipe will still have a leak. However, you can use liquid nitrogen to freeze the water in a pipe and create a 'freeze block' which will prevent more liquid from getting to the leak. Once the freeze block is in place, it is much easier to repair the pipe leak.
