seating is the usual seats in the departure area for nbo - nothing special. i definitely wouldn't hurry to get to the airport for this. it's essentially the area where you sit before boarding with one part sectioned off for biz/first and elites.
for drinks looked like they had some wine and spirits, soda and water.

the domestic terminal is in the same airport, so there'll be zero traffic to get to the emirates terminal, unless you're flying into wilson airport.
i would advise going to ole sereni a hotel very very close to the airport for lunch and drinks. it's very nice and you might be able to spot some game before you head back to the airport.

I've heard of ole sereni, think I may stop the night at the fairmont as I have a night in nbo before the flight to masi mara in the way in...

the taxi service i prefer in nairobi is absolute cabs. reliable and reasonably priced.
i'm from nairobi, but have had lunch/dinner and both fairmont and ole sereni. both are very nice.

I'm going to Mhuli Mzhuri so I'm very excited to see the amazing animals.

it is safe, like any big city you need to be street savvy (don't carry flashy valuables etc), but if you go during the day you'll be fine.
the things to see outside the city center - like giraffe center and david sheldrick are absolutely safe - there'll be very many tourists there

I guess the airport needed a major overhaul which is taking time....
