That is one heck of a nicely equipped 182!

Do you have the Garmin GFC500 auto pilot?
I fly 2 planes with that AP. One with a GPS400W
and one with a GTN750XI. Both will turn much
sharper than 90 degrees, for example, while
the TOGA button is flying back to the IAF and
I activate the approach to make another pass
the turn is maybe 150 degrees.

What does it do if you arm approach mode during any of this?

My 182 (N4428R) is similarly equipped: I found your "direct to" 3NM buttonology confusing as you went too fast. Golden Oldies also has a nice description of this process that describes the "button pressing" in a bit more detail.
You do a great job, but INMO, you are making an assumption of viewer knowledge that likely isn't present. Sort of like defining a word by using that some word.
Thank you for taking the time to present this topic.

Still can’t get this to work unless I’m at less than a 90 intercept

I think you forgot to mention that alt bug needs to be set at your low point of the AP visual descent before you expect AP to descend.
