Please, show EXPLAIN EXTENDED (and SHOW WARNINGS after it) for this query of yours.
* Why the server is treating same indexes differently depends on if they're UNIQUE or not
It doesn't, there're almost no differences between UNIQUE and non-unique indexes from the optimizer point of view. Optimizer knows that for a unique index there can be at most one matching row (if all index parts are known and are NOT NULL), for non-unique indexes there can be more. That's basically the only difference.
* That's probably not optimizer issue, as we can't FORCE the index
You cannot force the index if it is not applicable at all.
* What's internal difference between unique and non-unique index (eg. memory / file representation / data structure)
none.
* What each index type is suitable for, considering query optimization (as there's no data i was able to find on topic)
Aria only supports BTREE indexes anyway.

Hello! Only btree, no hash indexes?

Aria? Yes. b-tree and r-tree, no hash indexes.

IMO, MariaDB (like MySQL) would better issue a warning when trying to create a hash index and the engine does not support it. I'm not surprised if someone thinks that all engines support hash :)
