Both of Omaha's GED centers are Metropolitan Community College campuses, at Fort Omaha on North 30th and South Omaha on Edward Babe Gomez Avenue. Walking in for the exam means walking onto the campus that is the obvious next step.

Two places, both Metropolitan Community College. The Fort Omaha Campus is at 5300 N. 30th Street, Omaha, NE 68111, and the South Omaha Campus is at 2909 Edward Babe Gomez Avenue, Omaha, NE 68107. The Nebraska Department of Education lists both as public GED testing centers. Call 531-622-7232 for Fort Omaha or 531-622-4659 for South Omaha to confirm testing times. You book and pay through your GED.com account, not through the college.
All four subjects cost $144, which is $36 each, and the Nebraska Department of Education lists the same $36 per test. Testing online from home costs exactly the same, so price is not the reason to choose one over the other. Retakes are where it differs: retake at a test center and you pay a $10 fee, retake online and you pay $36. You do not have to sit all four at once, and most people do not.
Yes. Nebraska allows online proctored testing, so you can sit all four subjects at home with a webcam, a steady connection and a room nobody walks into. You need a passing score on the GED Ready practice test first. It costs the same $36 a subject as testing at MCC, so decide on convenience rather than price. Retakes are the real difference: $10 at a test center against $36 online. Either way Nebraska makes you wait 30 days after failing a subject the first time.

Nebraska is stricter than most states here, so it is worth knowing before you book. If you fail a subject the first time, you must wait 30 days before retaking it. The cost of that retake depends on where you sit it: $10 at a test center, or $36 online. GED Testing Service also gives you one discounted retake for every subject you pay full price for and do not pass, usable within 365 days. The practical takeaway is that a failed subject costs you a month, so it is worth being genuinely ready rather than treating the first attempt as a trial run.
Two different answers, and the difference matters. You do NOT need to be a Nebraska resident to sit the test here. But to be awarded the Nebraska credential you must have lived in the state for at least 30 days. So if you have just moved, you can study and even test, but plan the timing. The credential itself is the State of Nebraska Department of Education High School Diploma, and colleges and employers treat it as a high school diploma.
Eighteen, and you need to be withdrawn from high school without a diploma. Sixteen and seventeen year olds can test in Nebraska, but it is not automatic and it is not quick. You have to be released by the State Office first, and Nebraska also requires you to enroll in adult education classes under the State before that release is given. Start that process well before you plan to book anything, because no test center can schedule you until it is done.
