Is 'invencible' used for objects or just people?

It can be used for both! You can have an 'invincible person' (like a superhero) or an 'invincible obstacle' (a problem that seems impossible to solve).

No. In Spanish, adjectives ending in -e are 'gender-neutral' and stay the same for both masculine and feminine nouns.

They are very close! 'Invencible' sounds a bit more grand or legendary, while 'imbatible' is very common in sports contexts to say a record or a player can't be beaten.
