Does Nook for Android require a B&N account for sideloaded ebooks?
Yes unfortunately you need an account to get B&N to work.

Yes ironically for non technical books Mobi/AWZ is still my format of choice. I'll even convert ePUB to MOBI so I can use the amazon reader. Moon is slowly catching up to the Kindle. Once it adds pan/zoom to images I will most likely stick with Moon+

Yes that is what the "preview" mode does, uses the CSS for ePUBs. They just add that feature like a week ago and the dev, I believe released an update two days ago.

The only drawback is you cannot annotate or view annotations in preview mode.

One thing I will say about Moon+ and the Mantano folks they are quick to respond and do actually listen to the customers.
