Hi,
Many thanks in advance,

Yes
Yes
Yes, but they still have to be stapled
Just outside the electrical boxes or in several places along the way as well?
..
It is cinderblock, they were originallly made from old coal cinders.
If you are fishing in an existing wall you don't need to staple them
Ah, that was going to be my question.
I cut out a section of drywall at the top - brought in the cable - and fished it down to the new outlets.
For the outlets, I cut out a hole just the size of the box, and then screwed the box to the stud.
I did stable the cable at the top since I had access. But next to the box, I did not have access, so I did not.
Why would they need to be stapled? Seems to me that falls under the clause permitting NM to be fished through voids in existing walls, doesn't it?
Yup, I thought these were open walls until he clarified in a later post
