Sketch is created on a wrong profile
What you are trying to do should work but without your model, it is hard to tell what the true situation is. Please attach it to a forum reply.

The sketch you are trying to use the profile of to create a new sketch on the same plane is located in a linked file. You must activate Edit in Place on that linked file in order to create a new sketch using the previous sketch profile as a reference. In you Screencast, you did not do this. You, of course, could break the link and do the same task if you like.

Hi, thank you for the observation.
My questions are:
In this case, why not outputting an error?
Fusion could execute what you attempted to do, so it is not an error, it is just not what you wanted.
Why did it select as a sketch plane then when I tried to do it? There was a sketch created at z=0 with a very small plane area.
I really did not pay any attention to what plane it did create. If your selection satisfied the criteria to create a new sketch it will do it.
Also, when I tried to offset a plane, I could select to project some vertex, the result was higher than what I selected, and yet again the plane was on a third plane. Why all of this unhandled behaviour rather than an error or the impossibility oto select that vertex?
Same reason as the first one I gave, if Fusion 360 can execute the operation you specify, right or wrong in your mind, it is not an error as far as the application is concerned, it is just a different result than you wanted.
I concentrated on solving what I perceived was your question, I did not go into much of anything else. I would suggest creating a smaller test file and try out your techniques and understand how they work. That is the way I did it when I started out.
Thanks.
