The AI-FNV!.BSA is a dummy bsa file used for Archive Invalidation. Don't worry about it.
To add the Fallout3 bsa files (or any other bsa files, for that matter), add a comma at the end of the list and enter in the name of the .bsa file. Repeat as many times as you want.
Which might actually happen with the Fallout3 BSAs in addition to the existing BSAs
Note that you can rename the BSAs to whatever you want, the names are not actually used for anything, just remember to change the names in the INI to match.
What I'm wondering is, for example, should I put just NMC.bsa or both NMC and Fallout - Textures and so on. How does the game access BSAs when loading assets...
Resource monitor (a program bundled with Windows 7) can tell you all that, IIRC. Load it up, play NV and then look at ze info.
I found that the sounds.bsa files were used the most, followed by the mesh files and then the texture files. Results will probably be different; depending on where your character is, what mods you've got running, etc.

Could probably pack them all in if you named them like 1.bsa 2.bsa etc.

I have tried your method, and the game is running fine. What I am not sure though, is that: Does the game really need to run those FO3 files in the fallout.ini
Because, first, they are not mentioned in the original FNV's ini. which mean they are not needed and second, if those fallout stuffs are operating like a mod, then unless we modify the ESM/ESP file, otherwise it is pointless.........
Currently TTW loads them like a mod, but if you changed their name and loaded them through the INI you are bypassing that and making them load as native BSAs.
TLDR; putting them in the INI is just fine.

Will be trying this. I just raised my system ram to 16G so I might spare 4gb to RamDisk. Folks say DDR3 is faster than SSD too. >.<

I've got 16GB 'ere, and I use an 8GB RAMDisk. Works fine fer me.
And aye, RAM is much faster than an SSD. DDR3 @ 1333MHz does 10GB/s, whereas the best sata SSDs do 500MB/s
