You will need to generate .o not .obj files if you want to use them
with DJGPP. Select the right output format (coff or DJGPP coff or
something like that) and let the object files end in .o and you
should be successful.

You won't be writing a WINDOZE aplication with DJGPP. DJGPP generates
DOS applications.

It depends on what you want to do.
If all you want is write assembly with NASM, you shouldn't need DJGPP
at all.
Do you want to have access to DJGPP libc? If so then you're going to
need (at least parts of) djdev*.zip plus a linker. "ld" in bnu*b.zip
should do the job.

No. All DJGPP programs run on 386s or later CPUs.
