Non NX lens adapter questions

I am interested in using some non-NX lenses on my NX500, and I did a search on the forum but still have some questions:

1. Does using an adapter change the focal length of the lens, in relation to the sensor?

2. Is there a extension tube effect, since the rear element of the lens is further away from the sensor?

3. Is there a brand name, retailer or ebay shop which is best to use when choosing an adapter?

4. Does the lens need to have a manual aperture ring?

I'm looking to buy some used Nikon glass. Thanks for any advice.
