Hello. Need advice regarding brick wall footings. Planing to build 2m high, 1 and the half brick wide wall and with the edge to pavement. What kind of footing i should do ? and how deep and wide i should made footing?

Footing depends on ground conditions? Assuming it is clay, the width of the wall would be sufficient and to be 100% safe from any movement it should be 900mm deep. A lot of people would go 600 or 700mm deep though. It will be difficult to lay bricks in the bottom of such a narrow trench so best to fill to within 150mm of the ground.

so what total wide i should do footings? and should i do square footing or T shape? and footing wont lean after long time, if all wall will lay on edge of footing? (as shown on the picture?)

Make the footing the same width as the wall. There is no need for it to be any wider.

so if i will dig 900mm trench, i should fill it with 750mm of concrete and leave aprox 150mm for 2 rows of brick which go underground? (ground condition - clay)

Yes.
