If "nothing" means no-thing, and that is certainly how that English
word originated, then the meaning of the first case is clear even if
I don't agree with what it says, but "no thing exist" just sounds
like bad grammar to me.
Nothing exist = not one thing exists = the universe U = { }
Nothing exists is the stage after the use of the reflexion axiom,
where U becomes { { } }. The nothing ({ }) exists and has became an
element of the universe.
This can be reiterated on Cantor transfinite ordinals. (see my post to
Chris).
