What does this mean? Is there a way to get around it?
It means the NW website has been "Deltafied." I am getting lots of those error messages now too.

Yes, you can enter your NW number later. But if you want to book award travel on delta.com, you need to use Delta availability and Delta miles.

No, only nwa.com. And if you use delta.com for using NW miles, you must first link your DL and NW accounts, then transfer the miles from NW to DL.
Note that it often requires more miles on delta.com than on nwa.com. Also more fees on delta.com, depending on what you are booking.
I had to call NW to book an award ticket last week - even nwa.com could not find availability a simple MSP-AMS-ZRH business class ticket, even though all on NW/KL metal, perksaver. Pretty pathetic.
