1) Trans fluid - to save your trans, lower to the proper level asap. 2 ways to do it - either snake a hose down the fill tube and pump it out, or drop the pan.

2) NSS bolts to the outside on your model, right? So probably not affected. You could clean it again, and also I'd check the linkage on the shifter to make sure it's getting all the way into Park when you try to start. Easy way to check the linkage is to put it in Neutral and try to start it...if it starts, then the position on the shifter is a little off.

3) You mentioned the key...there have been instances where a bad ignition switch caused a failure to run. If yours is as loose as you say, then it might bear replacing.
