Well which mission type is the right one for an offensive ECM plane. Far as i know is thew trick to head the plane towards the enemy... So do i have to create one waypoint or a mission or mark an enemy..??

Support. Put two waypoints fairly close to each other at what you think is the "right" distance, which is close enough for the jammers to have an effect, but not close enough that it becomes too vulnerable.

You can also make the RP(s) relative to any other aircraft that you want to protect, so they move along.

This brings the question, how much far a jammer affect enemy?
I was playing a scenario sometime ago and I had a huge trouble shooting down bogeys that wanted to sink my fleet just because 2 F-16 with ofensive ECM was jamming my radars (fleet, planes and A-A Missiles) around 180nm away.

Depends on the radar being jammed, the jammer and distance. There is no hard fixed value in this game. Its best to experiment and learn but in general you should be screening any attack.
As far as the F-16's the pods shouldn't be doing this at all. If you can, please to post a save the next time you see this. My suspicion is there are other jammers out there.
