1) Are the Elliptical and Nylock types interchangeable? I.e. if I take an Elliptical off, can I replace it with a Nylock?

Best to replace like for like, ellipticals are used in critical applications such as head studs, where it's essential that the nut stay locked exactly where it is to ensure the head is locked down even and doesn't loose compression. Nylocks aren't so critical.
Pretty much all of the aftermarket suspension pieces I have on my car have Nylock nuts. Hrdware stores and shops that specialise in nuts and bolts are the best place to go, Ebay not so much because you can't confirm fitment and quality.
