Hello ! First of all, I would like to say that I'm French and sometimes my English is not excellent, sorry if I do english mistakes...
I have to backup my Mac with Time Machine, I know how to do it with the menu but I'm not so sure. Do I have to create a sort of "disk" that I will dedicate it to the Time Machine system (if yes, how should I do it ?) or they're no need for that and the simple fact of setting it up in the menu will automatically create the "disk" ? I would like to set a size for the Time Machine system and I do know how it should be done...
One more question, is the backup with Time Machine working when I'm not home ? For exemple if I go somewhere where there is internet connection, will my Mac "TimeMachine itself" through the internet to the NAS -that stayed home- or do I have to be on the same internet network as the NAS ?
Time machine back up over the internet may not be possible or if it is, it might cause some issues. Being over the internet may reject needed requirements to connect to the time machine. Probably more of a speed issue or other things.
Then if I set up a different Time Machine module, it will automatically save my datas on it. But when I go back home, does the different backups sync with the NAS ?
I've read somewhere that when the system used for Time Machine isn't accessible it automatically creates the backup directly on the Mac. Do you know if it's true ? If yes, does those backup sync with the NAS at home ?

Backups to e.g. a USB disk wouldn't get synced back to the NAS. Your Mac would do a separate backup to the NAS when you are back at home if the NAS is in your list of TM backup destinations.

That's called MobileBackups
