Answer 1

Apparently the ARM template you're using includes a definition of an NSG rule which is missing the Protocol parameter. You'd need to update the template - use https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.network/networksecuritygroups?pivots=deployment-language-bicep as a guide
