You dont HAVE to take out the injectors when pulling the head, but I would highly recommend it as they do stick down below the surface of the head.

Yes, the large nut is what holds the injector into the head. If the injectors have never been out of the head before they can be kinda a pain, you may need to grab them with channel locks and wiggle them side to side as you are pulling up on them in order to break them free from the head.

A slide hammer works very well for pulling injectors.
