Nagato's Uzumaki lineage allowed him to weild the rinnegan without drawbacks, while Kakashi had to cover his eye when not in battle. I think Nagato did have drawbacks from his Rinnegan. Being an Uzumaki, those drawbacks just aren't very powerful. E.g. the Gedo Statue drains life from the summoner, but as an Uzumaki he has plenty of that anyway.

According to BZ's own account, when he saw Madara he knew he could do it. Presumably because of his strong devotion to his clan while also being very cooperative with his other half (well, for a transmigrant). Judging by the fact that two transmigrants fighting side-by-side was considered unusual, it seems most of the previous ones didn't even talk.
