1)I undrstand that this line draw but I am not sure if the moves forced and if
the solution is unique.

You need to analyze lines like Kc6 h3 in order to check it and you need to
analze lines like 1.Nxh4 to see if white has not more than one way to draw.

2)I suspect that programs can find it after many hours if the solution is
correct.
They will not see that Kc6 is a draw but they may see that other moves are
losing more material.
