For 1) - imho, there is no simple way to answer this question, because it depends on what you have in your current environment, what do you want to end up with, and how do you want to manage everything. For instance:

How many users?
How many systems?
Are your linux systems in a NIS domain?
Multiple NIS domains?
Will authentication be done from AD using NIS or LDAP?
Do you use NIS for automounting and to serve other maps?
If so, will these be served by AD or by your NIS server?
Do you want an open source solution or a commercial solution?

I know there will be people who will say "this is what you need to do", but what works for 50 users and 20 systems may not scale to 10,000 users. It all depends on your requirements.

For 2) - are you looking for login/logout times? Or per command activity?

NAME

       ypwhich - return name of NIS server or map master

SYNOPSIS

       ypwhich [-d domain] [ [-t] -m  [mname] | [-Vn] hostname]

       ypwhich -x

DESCRIPTION

       ypwhich	returns  the  name  of	the  NIS server that supplies the  NIS name services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map. If
       invoked without arguments, it gives the NIS server for the local machine.  If hostname is specified, that machine is queried  to  find  out
       which NIS master it is using.

       Refer to ypfiles(4) for an overview of the  NIS name services.

OPTIONS

       -d domain       Use domain instead of the default domain.

       -t	       This option inhibits map nickname translation.

       -m mname        Find  the  master  NIS server for a map.  No hostname can be specified with -m. mname can be a mapname, or a nickname for a
		       map. When mname is omitted, produce a list of available maps.

       -x	       Display the map nickname translation table.

       -Vn	       Version of  ypbind, V3 is default.
