Leviticus 16 - Does the casting of the lots mean that the two goats are actually one sacrifice?
Yes, I believe it's to show it is the same sacrifice. This originated in the fall:
Genesis 3:21,24 (KJV 1900)
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of
skins, and clothed them. ...

What did Nadab and Abihu do wrong?
"Unauthorized" sounds like forbidden, but Leviticus does not say what not to offer, just what to offer.

( Job 1:5 ) Job seems to be offering sacrifices for his children's "probable/possible" sin and cursing of God in a legalistic/perfunctory manner
You have edged into a complex understanding - complex because in order to to answer it, you need to draw ‘in’ a lot.

The idea is ...

Who bears the sin in Leviticus 10:17? The priest or sin offering?
In a very literal sense it is neither the offering nor the priest. In a metaphoric sense, both did.
In the sacrificial system we have two elements: (a) the animal, eg, the lamb, and, (b) the priest. ...
