1) MPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, etc. are standards. MPEG = Motion Picture Expert Group. The standards define various things including audio and video compression. 2) x264 is an MPEG-4 Part 10 video encoder. The cli encoder can output mkv, mp4 or raw files. 3) Define better? Generally MPEG-4 Part 10 should achieve the quality of MPEG-2 at a lower bitrate. There is also MPEG-4 Part 2 (Xvid and DivX are MPEG-4 Part2) though. Still the same applies.
