Why was Voldemort not put in Azkaban?

Voldemort wasn't sent to Azkaban because he was too powerful for the prison's defenses (Dementors couldn't affect him, and he could likely escape or break in), he operated in secret during his first rise, and he was considered effectively "dead" after his initial defeat, making imprisonment impossible until his return; also, his return in Goblet of Fire involved seizing power and controlling the Ministry, not getting caught. He was too strong for regular wizarding justice and had no soul left to be tormented by Dementors, plus his followers would've broken him out.

How did Lord Voldemort get Nagini?

Voldemort found Nagini in Albania after his initial defeat, likely while he was a weak spirit possessing snakes; she was a unique, powerful snake, possibly a Maledictus (a witch with a blood curse turning her into a beast), making her an ideal companion, and he eventually made her his final Horcrux by murdering Bertha Jorkins with her present. Their connection deepened as he used her venom to sustain himself and later made her a container for his soul, ensuring their bond was profound and twisted.
