I don't think the ocean produces nitrogen or oxygen for that matter. Nitrogen comes from fusion (in a star, hydrogen turns into helium, which in turn changes into heavier elements). The ocean may store some nitrogen as a dissolved gas and nitrogen in the form of compounds such as NH3 and other soluble salts.

Yes, about 70% of the Earth's nitrogen is in the atmosphere, not the ocean. Nitrogen fixation in marine environments does play a vital role in the nitrogen cycle, but the atmosphere is the primary reservoir for nitrogen on Earth.
