What fan is this?

These are male connectors. Your motherboard has male connectors, the fan (for power) uses a female connector. Likely these are either for daisy chaining more fans (if you don't have enough fan connectors, or something 'special'. i.e. RGB stuff.

It is the fan that comes with the NR600 case. So I should just leave them?

Isn't it this cable (on the right)?

That's a Molex to 2 pin power connector. Don't use this. It's meant so you can connect your PSU to three fans, but it's not the 90's anymore, so you should just plug them into your motherboard.

They go with the front casefan. I have plugged it to power tho

I think i know whats happening , he has a single front case fan but the adapter supports 3 fans , in which case you would just plug nothing into them.
