Try by setting the minwidth on the treeview elements and then right align the buttons.

I won't advise you to do so. You could really invent some better UI design, really. The tree structure will be less visible, but what's more important, you will have a change to truncate a part of the item text; and it's pretty hard to adjust the room taken by the text on left and measure a left indent of a tree node to compensate in in a button position. I warned you; but still you can get an alignment you want.

The element of a TreeView can be a two-column one-line Grid with fixed-width left column. When you create a node during run-time, you read the level of the node and calculate required width of the left column.

To me, it looks like an excessive design annoying design which is not very easy to debug. Adding a deeper node can always break the picture.

You could do much better. For example, one button per a whole tree with action depending on selected node. How about that?
