Discovery.
SNW will stand on its own with no problem at all. The few references back to STD are entirely explained early on.
No, there's little or no war in Enterprise between the Feds and Klingons.

Enterprise takes place a century prior to Disco/SNW. Enterprise takes place before the Federation exists, and so the Starfleet in that show is United Earth Starfleet, not Federation Starfleet. In Enterprise, humans are by no means friendly with the Klingons, but it never escalates to all out war. There are limited starship battles, however.
No. It has first contact, what Picard describes as "disastrous" later on in TNG, but it has no bearing on Discovery. As others noted, what context is needed for SNW is provided, so it can stand on its own. If you want the order then Discovery came first, and introduced this version of Pike. But, hardly necessary.
Ive seen Enterprise before a long time ago when it was on Netflix. The Klingons were hostile when they first started in episode 1 of season 1
There's a big difference between being hostile, and all out war.
I mean, SNW's premiere is a literal follow-up to Disco's S2 finale, which makes it pretty clear which one comes first, I should think.
Shhh...that's a secret.
You really do not have to watch Discovery before SNW. Not much from Discovery really impacts SNW. I also would not watch Discovery before TOS.......Both SNW and TOS have mostly self contained stories....
You should watch SNW first, so when you go back to Disco and see Dye Job Pike and Emo Spock it's as jarring as humanly possible.
Strange New Worlds. DSC has some moments, but it's more like CPR until you get the ol' heart beating again.
"Discovery" Season Two is essentially "Strange New Worlds" Season Zero.
