Can I make someone go to NA?

You cannot make anyone attend, and a meeting only does anything for someone who decided to be there. Waiting is the hardest part of this and it is not the same as doing nothing. Going to an open meeting yourself first is allowed and tells you more than reading will.

Can I go to both NA and AA?

AA came first and NA adapted its program. The format of an hour is close to identical. Which one people settle into is usually decided by the room rather than by the definition. Nobody at either will ask why you chose it.

Do online NA meetings count?

Online meetings became ordinary and have stayed ordinary. Online removes the travel, the parking and the walking into a room full of people, which is most of what stops a first visit. If none of the times above work, online is the one that has more of them.
