You may need a proper PSU. you cam use one from a desktop computer. I use a breadboard PSU.

Can you communicate using the FTDI?

Firstly arduinos software serial cant working correctly with esp. It have different frame. You can use hardware serial. But if you need just serial debugger you can use arduinos serial apadter directly tx and rx pin. But you need 3.3v good power for esp. Arduino nano 3.3v pin not enough.

huuuummm

FTDI has good support. But I know there was problems with some chinese clones being blown by some update... Which OS are you using?
