Second, another walnut tree a few houses down has a gypsy moth nest
among its branches. Any advice on how this investation oughta be
dealt with, and how to persuade the owner to deal with it ?

Whatever they are...propane torch or flame weeder - that's what my dad
always did.

Another choice is to cut the branch with the nest and burn it on the
ground.
