Sorry, no clue about best settings.
In general:
a. use the encoding method you need. 2pass if you want to archive a specific file size, 1pass crf otherwise (usually folks use crf values between 16 and 23 for normal content and 12 or lower for archiving purposes).
b. if you need better compression ration and are willing to spend extra time on it, select a preset you want and apply it.
If you want to seriously start tweaking x264 settings, you should start reading up on how H.264 works in general and what all the different settings do. The presets are there to provide a general good balance between speed&quality that normally works fine for all content.
About profiles&levels:
Profiles restrict the coding mechanism that are available for the compression
Levels restrict the data rate and amount of reference frames that are available for a given resolution and frame rate.
