can notty handle 11% abv if pitched in sufficient quantity? or will it get stressed out and pee out bad flavors?
what's the highest you've ever gone with notty?

Nottingham ferments the crap out of anything as long as you pitch enough. You can even ferment a big beer at 57 degrees with it, just pitch it at lager rates (IE about 1.5x to 2x as much as you would normally).
I'd say just trust Mr. Malty pitch rates at your gravity, and tell it it's a "lager" or a "hybrid" beer if your going to ferment below 60-62.
