Thank you :-)

No. Only TCP.

No. But Nessus does not really use the result from UDP port scan,
because it has no equivalent to find_service* on UDP.
amap -u can help, if you think you need that.

Only if you click on "enable dangerous options in safe checks" (or
something like this)

IMHO, nessus_tcp_scanner is good enough, but I am not very objective
on this point: I wrote it.
