So I own a Bundle I would like to giveaway here...

Let's say, someone already owns 1 game of it:

  • is it correct, that he can enter anyways?
  • and if he wins, is it correct that it is rule braking if he marks as reicived? (can't activate all)

Can't enter if owned. Apart from some special cases that don't get detected.

the bundle contains 3 games, so one can't enter if he owns one game?

You can enter, which is why you need to specify if that's allowed or not in the description.

The GA creator should state if they allow people who own part of the bundle to enter. (for instance: "you can't enter if you own more than X games of this bundle already")
The winner won't get in trouble for marking the bundle as received, as long as he did activate it, no matter how many games he already had (well, except if he had won them all previously I guess?)

They can enter, but it is your choice. It is best if you specify who you want to enter in the giveaway description, otherwise you will get a lot of comments from users asking if they can enter if they own certain games.

From the FAQ

What are the rules for entering to win Steam packs if I currently own a number of the games contained within?
We ask users not to enter giveaways for packages if they already own the majority of the games. This allows for winners that will receive the most value out of their gift. In the end, the giveaway creator has the final say, and if they believe the winner owns too many of the packaged games, we'll allow them to request a new winner.

Usually it is nice to ask if it's okay to enter for a part of the bundle (o when talking about GOTYs, to get the dlcs while having the base game). You can specify in the giveaway description if users can or can't and reroll accordingly.

You have the right to reroll any and all giveaways in which the giveaway entrant owns at least one item in the bundle, no matter what was stated or 'agreed upon' beforehand. Obviously, it is a lousy move not to state beforehand what your conditions will actually be, though.

The giveaway entrant is always allowed to enter, and you are always allowed to reroll. If you choose to send the game(s) and he activates the entire bundle as one, he has the right to mark the complete bundle as received and no rule breaking has been done. The only exception would be if he already owned the entire bundle, but in this case the bundle key should be rejected by Steam and thus it would be considered fake feedback (or regifting) if he marked as received.
