Correct. nv is the open driver, nvidia is the closed one.

This makes no sense. You can't load both the nv and nvidia drivers for the
same card at once.
exa support in the nvidia driver is totally up to nVidia; but since their
internal acceleration architecture is both comparable to and similar
performance to exa, I don't see why they'd bother.
Problems with Render acceleration in the nvidia driver should obviously be
addressed to nVidia.
