Will normal magic resistance help against spells such as maze?

No it only doesn't effect Imprisonment

There are a few attack spells that aren't affected by MR, such as Comet, Imprisonment, Dragon's Breath, and sunfire, IIRC

Please, correct me if i'm wrong, and could someone post other non-friendly spells that are not affected by MR?

All Abjuration stuff, Detect Evil (if patched) and Magic Resistance are unaffected, I believe.

I personally dont use much magic def usually kill mages before they can get a decent spell out.

So there is no way of defending against maze except some spells and enrage then? no good item in the game that works?

Yeah, normal mages are easy, but fight patched abizagil, it will be a LONG fight

Patch or no patch it is still quite easy I only had some problem with the patch melissan.

First time I had a go at her after the patch, had to use the death by insane number of trap method to finish the last one.

But I think I'm getting quite used to fighting her.

Will any scoll protect from maze and imprisonment then? Or is enrage and chaotic commands all that helps?

Protection from Magic works - Abjuration and Conjuration (or is it Summoning for Maze?)

Actually, Maze does allow resistance, so Magic Resistance will help.

Yes, SI:Conjuration, Chaotic Commands or Enrage is the way to go. But MR can also help.
