Also, after I make changes to the torrc file, is pressing ‘x’ in Nyx an acceptable way to enable the changes or is there a preferred method?

Yes, it sends a reload signal:

You can also reload tor's config using systemd or "kill -HUP".

Last, if I’m running a bridge at home do I need to configure iptables / fail2ban or is my firewall sufficient? And specifically which ports need to be forwarded to my bridge? Just the ORPort or others as well?

If you are running obfs4, you also need to forward its port.
