if you can get Nitrogen pump then go for it, else normal petrol station also have ~70% Nitrogen in the air. Most important is to maintain the correct tyre pressure, else your tyre will wear faster.

yes. Each time you pump, a bit of air goes into your tyre, Nitrogen% will not change much unless you have a flat tyre.

so any difference after you use Nitrogen gas?

i notice the ride is not so bumpy esp. going over humps...not sure is it due to the nitrogen gas...
and ride is also much more quiet...not so noisy...not sure is it due to engine oil change...my dad
say balance and rotate tyres also can make the ride more quiet...
