1.Is there a way to customize the choise menu [...]

Yes, and the answer is in the documentation that come with Ren'Py SDK.

2. Is there a way a to play mp4 file in renpy [...]

Yes, and it's said in the documentation that come with Ren'Py SDK.

3. Is there a way to detect end of a video file ?

Yes and no. There's no way to do it, but to some exception there's also no need to do it.

I would like to learn any of you guys advice

Well, my advice will be simple: Read the documentation that come with Ren'Py SDK (the "doc" folder in the directory where you put it) and that is also available

You must be registered to see the links

My advice would be start smaller. Just make a standard game to familiarize yourself with Ren'py/python and go from there. The documentation is impossible to read if you don't at least have a basic understanding of programming (with basic understanding it is difficult but at least you stand a chance). It also doesn't hurt to do an intro into python course or two.

All the screen language part and the styling part, and of course the part regarding in-game menus.

But it's not how you should proceed. You first learn how the engine works, then how its language works, and only then you starts do something.
I mean, you wouldn't jump on a plane cockpit and starts to fly without at least knowing what the different levers, buttons and other controllers do, right ? Why should this be different here ?
