Hi, Wolfgang.
The first definition seems ambiguous.
(1) x in (1) is a "silent" variable (summation index), and  can not appear
in the left side.
(2) x=1 leads to divergence (~\inf). And it's contradict the allowed range
of x.
(3) Apparently, the summation index is n, in which case the next comment
can be helpful.

As to Eq. (2), try this:

e1[x_] := NSum[x^n/(1 + Factorial[n]), {n, 0, \[Infinity]}];
In[12]:= Table[e1[x], {x, 1, 10}]

Out[12]= {1.52607, 5.00291, 15.7894, 47.4019, 136.98, 385.988, \
1070.88, 2943.92, 8050.98, 21954.5}

Hope it helps.
Best.
