It should work the same. In most cases it is using what is called UPnP which almost all newer routers support. If you did port forwarding in the old router the new one will also allow likely allow you to do that.

Does My connection become better? and how about my NAT?

For just games it is highly unlikely. Games use very little bandwidth in the first place.

The only way a different router/modem will make any difference would be if the internet connection was faster than the old router and it was causing a bottleneck. This is unlikely unless you recently upgraded your internet connection.

NAT pretty much works or it does not. It likely doesn't matter a lot because almost every router made allows you to do things like DMZ or port forward now days and that would fix any issues.
