Answer 1

As described in section NERDTreeCustomOpenArgs of the NerdTree help, you can use this option to control the opening behavior of files and directories. Add the following statement to your .vimrc:

let NERDTreeCustomOpenArgs={'file':{'where': 't'}}

This ensures in this case that only files in a new tab are opened. All other combinations can be found in the help.
