and I can't find anything about encryption: which key usage cert shold have to be able to perform encryption?
It's in the document. I think you are trying to look for a generic 'do encryption', but NSS always 'does encryption' in a specific context:
1) SSL handshakes:

Cert Usage              Requried Key Usage              Required Cert Type
--------------------    --------------------            -----------------------

SSLServer:              KEY_AGREEMENT OR
                        KEY_ENCIPHERMENT;               SSL_SERVER;

2) Email encryption

mailRecipient:          KEY_AGREEMENT OR
                        KEY_ENCIPHERMENT;               EMAIL;



KEY_ENCIPHERMENT, DATA_ENCIPHERMENT or both?
If you look at the list, NSS never uses the DATA_ENCIPHERMENT.
