Let $u$ be a function in $L^{2}(mathbb{R}^{3})$,
Question1:
Is $left | u right |_{L^{2}} =0 $ implies that $Fleft(uright)=0$?
Question2:
Is $left | u right |_{L^{2}} > 0$ implies that there exists a positive constant $c> 0$ such that $Fleft ( u right )> c$?
Note that $F(u)$ is the Fourier transform of $u$.

The answer for question 1 is yes, because the Fourier transform $mathcal{F}:L^2to L^2$ is an isomorphism between Hilbert spaces. In particular for linearity it maps 0 to 0 (actually you only need $mathcal{F}$ to be a linear mapping, which is easy to verify).
Remark that the $0$ of $L^2$ is a class of equivalence modulo a.e. equality, so you would have $mathcal{F}(u)=0$ a.e.
The second part is false. To see it, take any $uin L^2, une0$ (and hence with strictly positive norm) and consider $mathcal{F}(u)$. If there is a constant $C$ for which $mathcal{F}(u)>C$, then $mathcal{F}(-u)=-mathcal{F}(u)<-C<0$ and $-u$ and $u$ have the same norm.
In question2, I take the implication $/Fleft ( u right )/$>$ c$.

@user326064 Still false. Remark that $mathcal{F}(u')(xi)=2pi iximathcal{F}(u)(xi)$ and apply this rule to the Gaussian $u(x)=e^{-pi x^2}$, which is a fixed point for $mathcal{F}$. You have that $Vert uVert_2>0$ and $mathcal{F}(u)(0)=0$.

Using the Plancherel's theorem in $L^2$ , what is the condition on $/F(u)/$ such that assures that $left | u right |_{L^{2}} > c$?

Plancherel states that $mathcal{F}:L^2to L^2$ is a linear isometry, i.e. $Vertmathcal{F}(u)Vert_2=Vert uVert_2$, hence you only need to require that $$left(int_{mathbb{R}^3}|mathcal{F}(u)(xi)|^2dxiright)^{1/2}>c$$

Is it possible to write this condition with only $/F(u)/$ ? This is my question.

If $u neq 0$ on a subest of $mathbb{R}^{3}$ then $F(u) neq 0$ and thus $/F(u)/ neq 0$
Therefore, $left | u right |_{L^{2}} $ = $left | F(u) right |_{L^{2}} $$neq 0$.
the inverse is true.

If $u neq 0$ on a subest of $mathbb{R}^{3}$ then $F(u) neq 0$ and thus $/F(u)/ neq 0$
Therefore, $left | u right |_{L^{2}} $ = $left | F(u) right |_{L^{2}} $$neq 0$.
the inverse is true.
