Nylon string guitars do have higher action. They have to because the tuning tension is so much lower. The lower the tension the wider the arc the strings must vibrate in to sound. The wider the arc the higher they have to be to not buzz.
You need nails to play classical the way it's meant to be played. I can't have my nails that long; my job requires too much hand activity and I was always tearing and breaking them when I tried to keep them long enough to play.
