Set the Workgroup Domain for your NT machine to your Lan Manager domain name. 
This should allow you to browse your LM servers from your NT workstation.

After some experimentation I found the following things:

Persistant connections will survive a logoff or a shutdown, but NOT a restart
(this would seem to be a bug).  Also it seems that if the connection requires a
password, it will NOT be automatically reconnected. (checking to see if this is
a bug or a feature).

This should not be the case.  This seems to indicate that the password is
different on the two machines, because that is the only time you should see
this error.  I tested autoreconnecting to an LM 2.1 server after setting up the
same accounts on both machines, and no password prompt occured.

>4. Still what is missing is the possibility to browse the NT servers >   from
the LM 2.1 servers (most likely same problem than 1.)

I'd agree, if you fix 1, you'll fix this.

So my suggestion would be to change your domain, check your accounts to make
sure the passwords are the same, and let me know what happens.
