What is the name of the narrow bar in vs environment showing all line of document?

And how can i hide it?
The name is: "Map mode for vertical scroll bar"
Mode for vertical scroll bar is at: 'Tools' Menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> All Languages -> Scroll Bars -> Behavior
To hide the Map, select: "Use bar mode for scroll bar"
Microsoft Docs

Does anyone know how to make this tab appear on your screen? (It's an overall view of the code). I saw someone use it somewhere and took my attention:
That is the vertical scroll bar in so-called "Map Mode". To select this, issue the "Options" command from the "Tools" menu and navigate, in the tree in the left-hand pane, to the "Text Editor" ... "All Languages" ... "Scroll Bars" node and then, in the right-hand pane, select the "Use map mode for vertical scroll bar" radio-button:
Alternatively, you can go directly to that options page by right-clicking in the vertical scroll bar and selecting the "Scroll Bar Options..." command.
I used to have the margin highlighted below. How can I display it?
If by showing the margin, you mean showing the vertical colored annotations on the scroll bar, they can be enabled by going into Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Scroll Bars and then enabling required annotations in the Display group
If you meant highlighting the background of the annotation area, then you must select Use map mode for vertical scroll bar under the Behavior group and set the desired width from the Source overview drop-down
What you need is to set "Map Mode" for the vertical scroll bar. This is a language-dependent, text-editor setting: for C#, select the "Options" command from the "Tools" menu; open the "Text Editor" and "C#" nodes of the tree in the left-hand pane and select "Scroll Bars." Then, in the right-hand pane, select the "Use map mode for vertical scroll bar" radio-button (there are several options as to how much detail you want to show in the scroll bar; the image you posted suggests using the "Off" option from the "Source overview" drop-down combo).
Here's a screen-shot:
The process is similar for other supported languages, such as Basic, F# and 'C/C++'. Also, be sure to actually enable the vertical scroll bar (check-box near the top of the same pane).
I used to use this feature to see the number of occurances and position of a type or member. It supposed to work when I click a member and it's highlighted in grey, and all the occurrences drawn along the scroll bar as grey dots, representing the number of occurrences and their positions. Now I miss this helpful feature, and the only way to use it, is to copy the member name and paste it in the Find window. How to bring it back to Visual Studio?
To change the scroll bar mode, right click on the scroll bar itself and choose Scroll Bar Options from the context menu. You could also locate the scroll bar settings by typing “scroll bar” in the Quick Launch, or by navigating to Tools | Options | Text Editor | All Languages | Scroll Bars from the menu
probably a quick one:

2nd last screenshot from article here:

with some luck I found it is part of the Productivity Power Tools 2015

it seems to show the scope of blocks/braces.
Scrollbar markers
The blocks are also marked on the Scrollbar with previews. As usual, you can turn this on/off through Tools Options > Productivity Power Tools > Other extensions > Show code structure in the margin.

I saw it in a MVA video, and it was not the first time, they use tools or features they do not explain...
This is a new feature in Visual Studio 2013. You can preview the code by just hovering over the scroll bar & not actually scrolling. The width of the scroller could be adjusted (according to the 2nd link in your question - 2 last screenshot has Wide as the width).
How to set it?
Tools -> Options -> All languages -> Scroll Bars
All settings wrt to scroll bar are present here.
In Debug-mode, the row currently executed is highlighted yellow and a yellow arrow is shown. Is it possible to turn the highlighting of the row off/on?
In VS2010: Menu Debug -> Options and Settings / General - Checkbox "Highlight entire source line for breakpoints and current statement.
Tools -> Options -> Fonts and Colors.
Find "Current statement" in the list and change the background to whatever your text editor background is. You might also want to change the other "Current ..." settings.
