Paying is the key. NSA doing it for FBI would generate no profit for anyone. Given various loopholes exploiting arrangements between allied security services, I'd not be surprised if NSA were a source of 0days for NSO.

I would 100% be surprised if NSO was being supplied with vulnerabilities from government agencies. If anything it is likely to be the other way around.

Not directly, NSA requests tech companies to slow down 0day research so they and others can exploid them.
