Answer 1

it really depends on what you want. (i hope you have posted this question in the nano forum as well there will be people here who haven't had a nano so won't directly be able to compare.
check out the features pages:

i had an older generation nano, and at a basic level, it played music, podcasts, audiobooks etc. and had a color screen. (might be wrong but i think the newer ones play videos too - though i wouldnt want that on such a small screen and on something i tended to keep in my pocket)
the ipod touch isn't JUST about the media it plays, though it will play music, podcasts, audiobooks, with the addition of video and movies. it opens up a much larger world, with wifi internet access (if you dont have access to a wifi network, either at home or public ones out and about then this pretty much nullifies this feature and would probably mean you are better off gettting a nano - though there are more and more public networks, google wifi hotspots for local ones).
with the addition of the app store, there are more and more possibilities opening up for the ipod touch - but if you're just wanting a basic music player, again, may be better to stick with the nano.
along with many people on here though, i believe the ipod touch to be a fantastic piece of technology, and use it on a daily basis. and the functionality just keeps getting better and better! well worth all those pennies
