That's one way. Other is to make sure you pick an appropriate port range
for ping_host.nasl.

Yes, certainly. If you don't explicitly enable plugins that are listed
as dependencies for other scripts, they won't be run, and that will
likely lead to problems with those other plugins. For example, several
Mozilla / Firefox / Thunderbird-related scripts rely on
mozilla_firefox_code_exec.nasl to actually determine whether the
software's installed and, if so, its version number. If you don't
explicitly enable that plugin, the Mozilla / Firefox / Thunderbird
scripts won't report any problems.

Feed nessus output from nmap.

Martin Mačok has answered that.
