Where did you read this?  SSL/TLS is not required to use the password 
policy features.

The one named "Server-Cert" should be used for the Directory Server.

No.  Client authentication refers to using a client certificate to 
authenticate as opposed to a bind DN and password.  You most likely 
don't want to do this.  If you truly want to only use port 636, you can 
set nsslapd-listenport to "0", but all of your clients will be required 
to use LDAPS over port 636.  You should be really sure that this is what 
you want.

/etc/openldap/ldap.conf is the OpenLDAP client config file.  
/etc/ldap.conf is the config file for nss_ldap and pam_ldap.
