I need some general knowledge about NEJ Options

[Ardanis]

I'm about to play a NEJ at last. I don't want to start game and find then a crowd of bugs and other vermins and I'm lazy to check 280 megabytes of NEJ by myself.
Can someone with knowledge enlighten me:
1) is there known incompatibilies with UB, D0questpack, D0Tweaks, Refinements (not with new NEJ kits and armors/weapons, maybe rules too, but something else), especially with two first ones;
2) is it necessary to install BGT (since I don't need it in the least);
3) does NEJ make undocumented (neither readme nor ingame descriptions) changes (I can understand bugfixes but not something else (I do know mods which do it)) of items/spells/kits;
4) how much XP will I get from NEJ in average - in other words, which value should I choose for DEFJAM xpmod in order to avoid overstepping of official ~18 millions XP for sixmembered party at the end of SoA?

Can I hijack this thread for my own q's?

I have Icewind Dale + two expansions as separate games. Exactly how much of their content is included in NEJ? And what else was changed (if any), besides dialogs to support the connection with BG?
