I would like run something like this:

Four computers:
1. 192.168.1.3 server
2. 192.168.1.5 host1
3. 192.168.1.6 host2
4. 192.168.1.7 host3

And each of it should have another filesystem or even another system to boot(tinycore and microcore).
How should I configure my tftp and nfs to do it?

Create a PXE config file for each machine, specifying a separate nfs share for each.

As you said:

The config file is looked for in this order:

1. GUID
2. 01-AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF ( MAC address )
3. 89ABCDEF ( IP address in HEX )
4. 89ABCDE   ( Start dropping Nybbles )
5. 89ABCD
6. 89ABC
7. 89AB
8. 89A
9. 89
10. 8
11. default

If my hos1 has mac adress 11:00:00:00:00:00:11
If my hos2 has mac adress 22:00:00:00:00:00:22
If my hos3 has mac adress 33:00:00:00:00:00:33

Om my server in tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ should i have thhat files:
11-00-00-00-00-00-11
22-00-00-00-00-00-22
33-00-00-00-00-00-33

and that files should be like "default" but for direct host?

01- Followed by the 6 hex bytes of your mac address.
Default is the config file used if it finds no match as detailed above.

You can test this almost as fast as you can ask.
