I've binbagged all the nettle tops and bindweed tops and disposed of the
roots, can these tops be left to rot down in the bag? - I heard 'nettle
manure' left to rot like this makes good fertilizer next year...the
nettles
were in full seed, so I don't want to add them to my compost heap.

Worry more about the oxalis ;-)

Not in my experience - ripe nettle seeds are BAD news :-(

Yes but you may live long enough to eradicate the nettles!
