It's a bit ambiguous, and could use work, which is why we practice . . . I'm gonna be workin' on mine for the next 20 years ;)
What makes it nikkyo is the handgrip. Also, with katatori why nikkyo comes out of it and not ikkyo is because it's very easy to attack the wrist. The ikkyo-like movement of the arm is in much of aikido.
IMO yes, he should have done the nikkyo application at his collarbone for the ura version he showed.
That ikkyo-like movement can also lead someone into koshinage
I think it's hard to say in this way (Kata-Tori). I'm pretty sure there exist several ways doing nikkyo. We call this one Nikkyo because of the ending (what you unfortunately cannot see).
I can clearly see the nikkyo hand grip as he leads his uke's arm through the vertical circle. Better to give pointers or encourage than discourage.
