after achieving a perfect circle orbit, can i start deorbit burn to land, or i should orbit.

I'd roll a die:
1: De-Orbit
2: TLI
3: Head to Mars
4: Head to outer systems
5-6: Burn in atmosphere
Just quick save where you're now on the orbit and then you can try deorbit,If you mess up,you can just start from the same position later again.after achieving a perfect circle orbit, can i start deorbit burn to land, or i should orbit.
Instead of de-orbiting right away, you can orbit a few times and plan a de-orbit burn to land where you would like. Always be two steps ahead.after achieving a perfect circle orbit, can i start deorbit burn to land, or i should orbit.

Yes. When the line is getting towards the DN line, get ready to have to go Normal(+), and when it's getting towards the AN line, get read to have to go Anti-Normal(-). And of course, when it says ENGAGE THRUST you should probably engage thrust. As the numbers (RInc and a few others) approach 0, it will only allow shorter bursts of thrust and at some point you'll need to use linear RCS translation thrust. (maybe even at 10% thrust (CTRL+9 while in linear RCS)). In the end you should have a few numbers(RInc, Tth and/or Tn I think) as close to 0 as possible and your line may stay steady right in between the AN and DN points.when going towards ISS, when i use Allign Planes MFD, When point P comes towards me It says ENGAGE THREUST orbit-Normal(+) or (-) is it means that i should press the button Normal + & - in default autopilot pannel.

Yes,when point P is getting close to the AN,you should have your autopilot engaged to normal-,getting close to DN menans engaging normal + autopilot.when going towards ISS, when i use Allign Planes MFD, When point P comes towards me It says ENGAGE THREUST orbit-Normal(+) or (-) is it means that i should press the button Normal + & - in default autopilot pannel.
Not if you have engaged autopilot.You are "flying" sideways,so it will not affect your Per. nor Ap.thanks, but engaging thrust spoils circular orbit.
