Did Chi-i or tendai tradition recite NMHRK or lotus sutra title? I guess that Nichiren said that it was a kind of practice.

Sort of.

NMRK can be found in various texts as one of among other invocations. It was not made a central practice as you find in the Nichiren teachings.
There is no suffering to be severed. Ignorance and klesas are indivisible from bodhi. There is no cause of suffering to be abandoned. Since extremes and the false are the Middle and genuine, there is no path to be practiced. Samsara is nirvana. No severance achieved. No suffering nor its cause. No path, no end. There is no transcendent realm; there is only the one true aspect. There is nothing separate from the true aspect.
