Not sure if I understand what this sentence means, but if you mean that skill difference is smaller in NL than in PL, I'm not sure if that is correct. Only the possibility of killing action pre-flop advocates that. I think the possibility of overbetting the pot is good for the stronger players.

Yes, thus making understanding pre-flop equities a more important skill in NLO8. Shoving pre-flop can be a mistake, too.

Cash, because people play them more? I don't know what kind of an answer you were expecting.
I think NLO8 is a sligthly better tournament game than PL, although the difference is small.
