No, it is not already minimized, at least as far as nmode is concerned.
You should carefully compare the energies printed out at the end of the sander
run with those printed by nmode. There is probably some difference (which
could be caused by having different defaults in the two programs.) You have
to make sure that the energy function is the same in the two programs (or, use
nmode for both minimization and normal mode calculation.)
Unless this is just a one-off calculation (i.e. the last normal mode
calculation you plan to do), I'd advise getting AmberTools and using the
nmode() function in NAB. That makes it much easier to minimize the energy
and to get the modes in a single run.
