1. The nature of the work undertaken by your client seems to be of contract type. When the billing crosses Rs.9.00 lacs, immediately he should register himself for Service Tax.
2. NIL return is also compuslroy in Service Tax.
3. No need to have TAN number right now. But it is advisable to take TAN so that in future it would be used whenever TDS become payable. NIL TDS returns are not required.

agree with expert, and your s.t rate would be 10% + 3% TAN is used for your salary payments if salary of your client staff goes taxable when your cline has to deduct tax on tan.
