Google still takes notice of them. They've been using them for a while to understand how web pages link to each other without giving them any weight in terms of SEO.
As for your second question, sure, you can have NOFOLLOW links within your site pointing to NOINDEX pages. It's like having a secret door in your house that you don't want anyone to find easily.

If I understand your use case correctly, I wouldn't use nofollow for these internal links. In the example you provided, it could lead to a situation where the Google bot doesn't find your posts that are on page 10 (unless you have other internal links to them). You would probably want to use noindex, so that your post lists don't appear on Google search, but I wouldn't recommend using nofollow for them. It is also quite interesting to know how Google calculates PageRank with the existence of nofollow link: It takes all links on a page and divides the PageRank of that page by the total number of outgoing link. Then, it gives each of the do-follow link that exact share of Page Rank ("link juice"). So, if you have 5 do-follow links and 5 nofollow links on a page, each of the do-follow links gets 10% of the Page Rank, and the remaining 50% are just lost.

Yes, Google does still consider them.
We often advise building some Nofollow links or at least being open to them. Not only is it part of a natural backlink profile but also as some of the biggest domains in the world, Forbes for example, only offers Nofollow links. These links can bring some great PR benefits that would benefit any domain.

Yep, Google still considers nofollow links. Just be sure that these pages are truly ones you don't want indexed, as noindex prevents them from showing up in SE results.

Google still considers nofollow links, but they don't pass on ranking power to the linked page. You can use nofollow for internal links to noindex pages on your website - it's like a double no for search engines. Nofollow links can still be helpful for users to navigate your website, even if they don't affect SEO.
