The "proxy_buffering off" implies that response will not be 
buffered - that is, everything received from a backend is 
immediately sent to a client.

At least one buffer is still required though (nginx have to store 
data from a backend somewhere before it will be able to send them 
to a client), and proxy_buffer_size defines size of this buffer.

See http://nginx.org/r/proxy_buffering for details.

No, it's not.

First of all, I would recommend you to take a look into error
logs - it might have an answer.

If it doesn't help, some more debugging hints can be found at 
http://wiki.nginx.org/Debugging.
