And whats push pull configuration.

Push/Pull config is when you have a heatsink that has 2 fans on your cpu and the first fan pushes air into the heatsink and the second fan pulls air out of the heatsink. It can also apply to rads in a water cooled system.

As for silent fans i usually stick to really high airflow fans then control them with my fan controller for silence when needed or airflow during long gaming sessions. Sycthe slipstreams/gentle typhoons and ultra kazes are all really awesome fans.

I think so, I've never used those type of lcs but from memory you can strap a fan on either side of it's rad for push/pull. Just make sure one fan blows in, one fan sucks out, if its mounted inside your case the fan sucking out should be aimed towards and exhaust fan so it sucks hot air out and blows it straight out of the case.
