For example - initial PSD file with layers is 14 MB, 400x400 px,

save for web jpg file size of 400x400 px is 10 MB (screenshot),

Save as PDF file size is 13+MB (no layers, high quality print)

What is this?

Change the pop-up for Metadata in the Save for Web dialog to "None" or "Copyright Only" and re-export:

Ye, thanks for that, i knew it, but search for this for two days and I'm realy angry to Adobe for that and want they know users don't need to be bugfixers instead of designers.

Also, the PDF problem is here, so..

Retaining metadata based on your settings is not a bug.

The PDF is of similar size because it contans the same metadata.

Showing one size but saving other - this is defenitely a bug. Messing users with this very large files saved for web is just a great UX failure.

Generally, this is the result of a long history of copy/paste/place instances. This can accumulate in files that have been used as templates, for instance.
