Generally stick with H264 codec in mp4 container and you’ll be fine. Those are supported by pretty much every browser and most apps.

Uploading to your instance is hit or miss depending on how it’s configured or whether it will accept anything other than images. Most people just upload them to catbox and use the link from there in the posts.

I like to upload the video to Mastodon, then I copy the video link and use that in the post.
