Strictly speaking, no and no.
There's no one single file, ROM or kernel that will act as an all-in-one flash to give you root, CWM and NFC enabled; at least, not that I've seen yet for the Note, although these have existed and do exist for other devices. I did them all separately but yes, used Odin to accomplish the first two and then zip file to SD card and installed from CWM to get NFC enabled.
I flashed a CWM .tar after being rooted, but could have done so prior to root. So I initially flashed a root kernel (the one of DaG's from XDA that's not OC'd or UV'd; just vanilla). I think this answers the CWM question but if I'm creating more confusion than answering questions, please let me know! lol
NFC is not enabled in the root kernel I flashed or the custom ROM I am currently running (Solaris Prime). However, there's a zip file installable through CWM that simply "opens" the NFC option in the settings menu on the device. I do believe you need to be rooted for this to work.
Hope this helps in some way.

Damn it works for the Telus Note. I will wait till someone makes a proper rooted Telus kernel with CWM. I also noticed ATT disabled Glonass. I'm so glad Telus keeps the firmware clean with no bloating or limitation of features.
