As Mark says, if you find a tool really useful, buy it. Personally I use ReSharper to run my tests, but that's a personal choice.

I also use NCrunch, which is free (and wonderful). I believe you can use that for debugging too.

However, you can debug with the NUnit GUI - just attach the debugger to the process, set breakpoints and run the tests.

However, I'd typically try not to require using the debugger to fix tests. When an assertion fails in a well-designed test, that usually gives enough information to fix the implementation, after a bit of thought. If it doesn't, that suggests it's a complicated scenario - which sometimes suggests adding more tests to handle each part of the scenario. But yes, occasionally you will need the debugger...
