1. Many many Sikhs recite Japji without using Nitnaym. This is OK. But using Nitnaym is BETTER, since it helps focus the mind.
2. Of course you can recite a pauri a day, but this is cheating. Say the whole thing, daily. It doesn't take long. If you are going to do a single pauri, then recite it 11 times. Elsewhere on Sikhnet /Youth Forum website is a description of what each pauri of Japji Sahib can do for you. Search it out.
