So a second question, does anyone know what the destination limitations are?
For example, would flying from LHR back to any point in the US (or, say, Asia) be considered nesting? (for example, if I flew SFO-LHR-SFO with LHR-MIA-LHR inside it? What if I flew LHR-LAX-LHR inside it?)

If you buy a roundtrip ticket from A -> B and then a roundtrip ticket from B -> C where C != A , that is , to my knowledge , completely fine. The issue occurs buying a roundtrip ticket A -> B and then enclosing a B -> A round trip inside it
The joining of A->B and B->C is even performed automatically when making bookings on some airlines sites. Booking a ticket from LHR-SYD r/t , aa.com calculated the price based on a N class LHR-LAX r/t fare plus a V class LAX-SYD r/t fare rather than quoting the more expensive V class LHR-SYD fare ( no N class fare to SYD at that time )
