1. How to make all the chapters start in an odd numbered page?

Add

2. How to rename the List ofSomething to List of Whatever?

Since version "6.9.12", the NOVAthesis template supports the redefinition of important strings with

for example

\ntlangsetup*{en/listfigure=The List of Figures}
\ntlangsetup*{pt/acronym=Siglas e Acrónimos}
