Will this be different from the Bitcoin keys ? After all, nostr is a hot ‘wallet’, and there are often clients (even web client) that encourage users to paste the private key. If the user pastes the private key derived from Bitcoin, the whole wallet will be exposed.

You are correct.

One should NOT use their Nostr BIP-39/NIP-06 mnemonic phrase as a Bitcoin wallet, even though they are perfectly compatible.

Nor should someone use their existing Bitcoin BIP-39 mnemonic to derive their NIP-06 Nostr key.
