Nipple driver no, just use a screwdriver to get them started then move to a spoke key. Spoke prep, just use boiled linseed oil, cheap and available at most diy stores. And if you're just doing one set, true them in the bike! Flip it upside down, put the wheel in and tie a couple of zipties to the fork legs / stays to get it true. I would also recommend getting it checked out by an LBS too, to make sure tensions are correct if you've not done it before.
