You can't have two programs opening the terminal (This isn't a Nios thing, that's just the way it is). The 115200 baud is hardcoded in the IDE. If you want to use the IDE terminal you can always go to the Nios II SDK shell and use the nios2-terminal command from there (nios2-terminal --help will tell you the switches you need).

Also if you are looking for a good external terminal look around for one called "Br@y".
