1: Yes, that's the purpose of the "(minimum 1/day)" note.
2: Correct. However, since they have it "at will" and it lasts for over an hour, a nabasu encountered in a dungeon, for instance, could easily have applied it everywhere in the dungeon except where it plans on staying.
3: Yes. Dimensional anchor only applies to the target's travel. The summoned creature isn't the target, and so its travel isn't blocked.
3b: If you instead use the dimensional lock spell, the nabasu won't be able to summon a creature within the blocked area.
4: Yes.

I keep reading over the rules for this creature and I can't figure out how it can "slay" a creature with it's death-dealing gaze.
Assuming a humanoid with 1 hit point fails it's fortitude save and gains a negative level. Per the rules for negative levels (per the core rulebook, not level drain universal monster ability) the humanoid would lose 5 hp from it's current and total hp. In this example, the humanoid would have -4 hp, but is it slain? Or does this "slay" wording mean that if the humanoid fails it's check to stabilize and bleeds to death, then it's slain?
I think I am missing something specific in the rules regarding this but can't quite pinpoint it.
If your Negative Levels equal your class level, you die. That's probably the bit you missed.
Since it isn't the energy drain monster ability, I'd assume by the negative levels text that the levels are temporary, allowing a saving throw each day to remove a given negative level. But it isn't really clear, and there's a good chance I'm wrong and the levels are intended to be permanent.
