What means bushed rods? Do the LS2 rods are different somehow from the LS1? What's the full floating, the piston or the rod? Do the rod from a full floating piston is different from a pressed type?

Bushed rod has a bushing in the pin bore. Full floating rods typically have this bushing, meaning that the wrist pin is not a press fit into the rod. The piston is also designed around this, as a full floating piston will have locks holding the wrist pin on either side, as a press fit piston will not. You can put a floating piston on a press fit rod, but you can't put a press fit piston on a floating rod.

I understand that the LS2 are from full floating pistonms, but are they better (maybe stronger) than others (LS1, LQ9's)?

Full floating is better, but depending on what your are doing they may not be needed.
