The crew website wasn't secure and some enterprising folks found a way in. That's been fixed. What you are asking for is the bid and that's not public info.

Yes. We can MEL the nose wheel steering. There are significant number of procedures that have to be complied with, including mx procedures. I've never been asked to fly an aircraft with the steering inop. Maybe other captains have. But I don't believe it's common.
