My experience with NXNomachine has been that there are few here that use 
it. Those who do don't have to do much to keep it running after it's 
properly set up, so trying to help someone with a configuration you may 
have done some time ago usually doesn't work. I got my setup running 
more than a year ago so what I did exactly to get it working is not 
fresh in my memory. I have NXNomachine running on server at work and one 
at home. I have always gotten it running using their own documentation, 
because I couldn't find help. Their documentation is actually quite 
adequate. Make sure SSH is open on the firewall and in Selinux, you want 
SSH allowed to forward port connections. Follow instructions to generate 
the key. The next step is one where I've had numerous failures. I 
usually open the key file with a basic text editor such as Kate or Gedit 
on a client computer. Select all and copy. Then open a nxclient 
instance, and go into the configure; there you will find a button on the 
general tab called 'key'; clicking that will open a window where you can 
paste the key. That generally does it. I'm sorry but I don't have time 
to read your long question, but, hopefully, something from above will 
help you figure out what you're doing wrong.
