Question #1 is a very good question. We need to have a SIMPLE chamfer setting at least under Face Mills. Many of the high performance cutters use them. There is a User Defined Tool definition but up through NX6 only works for Planer Mill operations.

For exporting to your own custom tool library, read up on the Exporting Tools to the Cutting Tool Library under NX Library in the Help. I prefer to modify the existing shipped library.
The actual export can be done from the Tool Dialog.
