Is an affiant and a notary the same thing?
An affiant and a notary are not the same thing. An affiant is the person who signs an affidavit or statement. The notary (often called "notary public") is an official who witnesses the affiant's signature, often by affixing a seal of the state in which the notary is licensed. Note that a notary may not notarize his/her own signature. Therefore, even if an affiant (person who is signing a statement), a separate person who is licensed as a notary must witness and stamp the first affiant's signature. What the notary is notarizing is the person's signature--not the validity of any statement. Is this now clear as mud?
Can a notary sign for a document sign of a person not capable to understand what their doing?
Notaries don't notarize documents, they notarize signatures. A notary is simply certifying that the signature on the document is actually the signature of the person it appears to be. The notary makes no warranties or certifications about the contents of the document or what it does. A notary rarely even reads the document. Instead, he/she will look at the signor's identification, watch them sign, and then sign and stamp as notary.
Does a notary stamp requires a signature?

What type of notarial certificate is needed on will and testament?

The stamp goes next to or near the notary's signature. It should NOT cover any text or signature on the document, including the notary's signature and the stupid "notary seal goes here" statement.
