Sometimes. The building is a working court and the room hosts real hearings. When it is free it opens to visitors through the Memorium exhibition. Check the official site on the day you plan to go.
They are the same building. The Palace of Justice is the courthouse itself; the Memorium is the exhibition that explains the trials and gets you in. In practice you buy a Memorium ticket to see both.
No — they are separate sites in the city. The congress hall and rally grounds are to the south-east; the Palace of Justice is west. Both can be seen in one day if you start early.

The Palace of Justice is a large early twentieth-century courthouse west of central Nuremberg. This is where the Nuremberg Trials were held after the Second World War, in Courtroom 600 inside it. In 1945 and 1946 the senior leaders of the Nazi regime were tried here before an international court. It was the first time the leaders of a state had been tried for war crimes in this way, and it became the foundation of modern international criminal law. The building is still a working court today, which makes it unusual: a historic site and a living institution at once. That is also why Courtroom 600 cannot always be entered — real hearings still take place in it. The exterior is free to look at and photograph. Entry and explanation come through the Memorium exhibition upstairs, which has its own ticket.

A monumental early twentieth-century building, familiar from the trial films and records.
