The instructions you read are old. Please let me know from where you
got the link to the old instruction page and I'll have the link updated.
To answer your questions:
1. Yes, you need to compile NSS into Mozilla. In fact, you need a
component called PSM, which contains NSS. The instructions for
building Mozilla with PSM can be found at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/psm/buildpsm.html.
2. The current version of NSS is self-contained and does not require
BSAFE Crypto-C.
3. The current NSS release is 3.3.1.
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/release_notes_331.html
The release notes contains a link to the current NSS build
instructions. However, if the only reason you want to build NSS is
to make https work in Mozilla, you should follow the PSM build
instructions (see my answer #1).
