You have a higher chance of getting pregnant when you put a nuva ring in late.
If you put the ring in late, you should not have sex (without a backup method of Birth Control) for at least 7 days with the ring in.
If you did have sex in the first 7 days of putting in the ring, I would recommend a pregnancy test.
You have the same protection from NuvaRing with or without bleeding. Using a second method can increase protection, but it's not required just because you're bleeding.
No, you only need to insert NuvaRing on the same day of the week every time, not the same time of day.
If you miss the first three days of your NuvaRing cycle, you should use a backup method until you've worn the ring for seven days. If you had sex during that time, consider using emergency contraception.
If you insert NuvaRing eight days late, you are at risk for pregnancy. Use a backup method for at least seven days. Timing of your next episode of withdrawal bleeding will be unpredictable. Take a pregnancy test if you had sex that wasn't protected due to the error in NuvaRing use. Consider changing to a method that doesn't require you to do something every month.
Nothing. It doesn't have to be inserted at the same time each week. My gyno told me I can leave it in an extra week if I'm going on vacation or want to hold off my period a week for some reason...there are enough hormones in it to leave it in an extra week, so the matter of a few hours is not important.
Inserting NuvaRing 6 hours late is generally considered safe, as it can remain effective as long as it is inserted within a 3-hour window of the scheduled time. However, if it has been more than 3 hours late during the first week of use, additional contraceptive measures, such as using condoms, are recommended for the first seven days. Always consult the product's instructions or a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

You can stop NuvaRing at any time, including mid-cycle. You may have a little less irregular bleeding after stopping it if you stop at the end of the three-week cycle.
After 29 days wearing the Nuvaring, you remove it (for 7 days). Then you get your period and you use the softcups. You're period is already over, when you have to insert a new Nuvaring. So you''ll never have to wear both at the same time. a user of both ;-)

Yes, there is a possibility that the NuvaRing can make your period come at an irregular time.
Yes, inserting the first NuvaRing will often shorten a woman's period.
