You could probably do that. I haven't run these sorts of calculations in more
than 10 years, so my memory of details may be rather limited.

I'd think this would only be necessary if the structure changed a lot during
refinement. I only used NOESY restraints once I had a good initial structure.

The absolute value of the Amber energy is not relevant here, since its zero
is arbitrary. You will probably have to experiment some to find a NOESY
weight that is good for your system.

I don't know the answer here: one good question to ask is whether the
structure changes much on moving from more conventional distance restraints to
volume ones.
