Default Master Key?

Dear all,
I have a few questions that I was hoping everyone could help with.

I purchased a 1998 Altima a few weeks ago and really like my car. It fits my family really well and gets really good gas mileage. Being a family of 5 and being 6'5" makes it hard to find a smaller car that works for me.

Having said that I have a few minor issues I need to resolve.

The biggie is the the fact that I am having trouble with the key. I only got one key from the previous owner. I have had copies made at three different places and the key usually doesn't work correctly. Sometimes I even have trouble with the one key I have. Is there some way to get a new "master" key? Can I take the car to the dealer and with the VIN get a new master made or ordered?

Also I read about the P0420 code. I know that the car has a crack in the exhaust manifold. I am replacing it this weekend. Can the crack cause the code? I have a receipt from the previous owner shower a cat replacement, but not listing which one. Should I be concerned? Should I contact the dealer and see if the recalls were done? Is there even a recall for the 1998 Altima?

Thanks for any advice.
