Often my 2000 9.5 v6 lights for engine and transmission lite up and
transmission slows or shudder... Then, after I turned engine on and off
for couple of times and have driven car for a bit indicator signals turn
off.
Could anyone advise me if this is a sympton of a Neutral Safety Switch
replacement? and if so; is the NSS the same as the Transmission Range
Sensor?

Sounds like that's what it is to me. My symptoms were the thing wouldn't
move when put in gear until the car was warmed up, really weird. The NSS
ain't cheap either, like $350. I had an independant Saab mech tell me (after
the fact) that a cure is to bend the metal tab of the switch and that fixes
it (but you lose the benefit of a safety...big deal). You might check into
that solution...sure seems cheaper and the worst thing that'll might happen
is you ruin a switch that's failing anyway.
