DNC?

If what you want is an SMB server that can operate in an Active
Directory domain, then all you need to do is:

# vi /etc/krb5/krb5.conf #configure krb5
# svcadm enable -r smb/server
# smbadm join -u domain-user domain-name

Most of that is not applicable, but if you want more than just an SMB
server in an AD domain, such as being able to log in as a Windows user
but on a Solaris Express system, then you'll want to follow the notes on
how to setup nss_ldap to use SFU.

Yes, but you don't need to setup nss_ldap if all you want is an SMB
server in an AD domain.

Not directly.  The idmap system provides you with several ways to map
Windows users and groups to Unix users and groups.

If you want to use SFU for these mappings then currently the only way to
do this is:

 - setup SFU
 - setup nss_ldap w/ SFU (see the URL you quoted)
 - setup name-based mapping rules mapping Windows user/group names to
   SFU Unix user/group names
