So if i pay higher fee only 1st confirmation will go faster, other 2 will be same?

You can't get a confirmation without a block.
The first confirmation is the block your transaction is included.
The chances of your transaction being included in a block are tied to some factors, the most important one is the fee you pay.
After that, every block on top of the block your transaction was included will act as one more confirmation for said transaction.

The fee will have an influence on whether or not your transaction is included in the first block, but it won't make the second and third blocks be discovered any faster,
those factors are out of your power.

You can pay a higher fee, which makes your transaction more likely to be included in the next upcoming block.
After that, there's nothing you can do about the confirmations, as it's going to get one with each new block, and the time between blocks (while being on average 10 minutes) varies.

Its crucial to me to get 3 confirmations fast as I need to get 3 confirmations in order to use that bitcoin. Usually it takes like 30 mins to 1 hour to get 3 confirmations but by that time place where I wanna buy something goes out of stock..

Well from 1 to 3 it takes 2 block. But to get first confirmation its luck and it depend on your paid fee.
