Hi

Two use a second screen I have to create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the integrated graphic card with the two screens? What for the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia?

cheers

You need to find out it yourself. Personally I have second panel, but at my case it doesn't require any additional configuration. It's connected via D-SUB port and KDE does all the magic via standard tool. debumblebee works fine with this configuration (tested with Minecraft). I don't have any HDMI panel nor another laptop to test different cases.

I tested different options but unfortunately I cannot have dual screen working with Optimus selected in BIOS. On the other hand if I select discrete in BIOS I can use dual screen with nouveau drivers but not with nvidia drivers. Interestingly in the BIOS if discrete is selected all video options are shown (VGA and DP) but with integrated or optimus only the Thinkpad video option is present. Does the nvidia card is to be activated to detect VGA or DP?

Sorry, but I cannot help with this question. At my case there is no BIOS option for switching graphics. I don't know which output wired to which card and what kind of hardware mux does your laptop have. All this things are on kernel level and I have no experience with it.
