Answer 1

server {
    # ... omissis ...

    # put this before your locations
    rewrite ^(/.*[^/])$ $1/ permanent;

    # ... omissis ...
}

If you want some kind of requests (say other than GET ones) to be prevented from doing this (usually it's about POST requests, as rewrite turns any request method into GET, which may break some of your site's dynamic functionality), add an if clause:

server {
    # ... omissis ...

    # put this before your locations
    if ($request_method = "GET" ) {
        rewrite ^(/.*[^/])$ $1/ permanent;
    }

    # ... omissis ...
}

You can also put the rewrite in a location block (if too), to make it more specific.
