Osaka is no more convenient than Kyoto for access to Nara. (Strictly speaking, I suppose it depends which part of Osaka you stay in). Making a trip to Nara is not a reason to move hotels to Osaka IMO.

That depends. I assume that you're arriving at KIX, since you mentioned taking the train to Kyoto - Are you departing from NRT or do you need to travel back to KIX? The full-country, 7-day JR pass costs about the same as a roundtrip between Osaka and Tokyo.
