"rebellion": I think we can allow some freenes here:
- On the one hand, a strife in a rather over peacefull setting is a kind of rebellion and
- since Aulë is allready using his "forsight" to predict the death of Nerdanel's children, we have to grant him as well the pre-knowledge that the unrest will grow into a real rebellion (of a kind) and
- we are allways have texts written (long) after the fact and it would not be the only part in which a knowledge of later events coulours the speech of earlier events.
I think the warning to Nerdanel's father fits here better than in chapter 12. I would assume that what trigger her plea in chapter 12, is the forsight of Nerdanel herself, that generated the name Umberto that made her feel that the death of her youngest will follow very swiftly.
About "abide with Indis": In the original context "abide" could not mean that Indis and Nerdanel shared one house. We are told already that Fëanor left his father's house as soon as he could, and I very much doubt that he returned to it when he married Nerdanel. So in the original sense it would mean both Indis and Nerdanel stayed in Tirion, while both husbands moved to Formenos. For me this is fully compatible with Nerdanel leafing the (now empty) house of Fëanor and moving back into the house of her father Sarmo. Beside that it is for us an easy way of telling that Indis stayed in Tirion as well.
