The biggest difference between Nexus S and Galaxy S is that Google is responsible for updating the software on the Nexus, and Samsung and the carriers are responsible for updating the software on the Galaxy. This is a massive difference, IMO, and swamps the minor differences, like NFC and the curved screen.
You are of course right in 99% of the comparisons, but that curved screen + Gingerbread make me completely overlook that they're otherwise the exact same hardware.
No, there's more differences: the Nexus S has the NFC hardware, and has no microSD slot, just double the onboard flash memory (16GB) the Galaxy S has (8GB) .

I'm pretty sure the Nexus S -is- a Galaxy S.
Nexus S, Vibrant, etc are all just the individual versions of the Galaxy S class of phones.
