You have some tricky issues. Probably you have an Optimus dual graphics system which can be a pain to set up correctly for starters, see - https://wiki.debian.org/NVIDIA%20Optimus
NVIDIA PRIME Render Offload is the best way but takes some understanding in that you have to specify for each application you wish to run on Nvidia, and others will run on the CPU graphics.
That your Nvidia card doesn't even appear in lspci is concerning. Maybe it is switched off in BIOS or broken. Maybe you have hit a dead end.
Nvidia drivers downloaded from Nvidia site need a specific version of GCC to install the driver. Looks like you don't have the correct gcc.
Did you check if gcc is installed, like the error message says?But that won't help if your card is not detected
In Debian the best way usually is to install the correct driver from Debian repositories. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any currently available in Bookworm for such an old graphics card.
