Engine thrust for taxi 737?

I did a search but could not find this question asked before.

How much thrust do you use to get the plane rolling after pushback and what power setting will keep the plane rolling at a constant speed during taxy?

Also, how much tyre drag is generated by the nosewheel in tight turns? i.e. does the 737 slow down a lot when turning into the gate?

I'm asking for desktop simulation realism reasons....

(Is it spelled taxi or taxy btw )
