“Are you allowed by copyright to do that?”

Yes.

Unless NN asks not to. You are correct it is their copyright and they have the right to ask a web site not to post their material, even for non-profit educational purposes.

Longer excerpt is ok as well unless the source specifically asks for no excerpt at all.

Theoretically excerpting is always fair under fair use, but a source can ask for no excerpt or anything at all.

A web site such as this could probably sue for use of fair use excerpts but it wouldn’t be worth it.
