Not a lot in my opinion; if you have NT2, then you are exempt inburgering Dutch exam.

NT2 wll say that you are learning or have learnt Nederlandse Taal as 2e language.
Inburgering is the language on level A2 (code international) and how the dutch civilication works. So its more then only the language.

No. NT2 is part of the whole inburgering process (so, integration into Dutch society); you do the basic exam as part of your MVV process, but are exempt the language exam part if you already have NT2 (perhaps you lived in Holland before).

When you get to Holland and register at the Gemeente, they will contact you later to arrange your NT2 course (for which you have to pay € 290,-; they will lend you the money if you don't have it).

Hope this helps.
