1. Okay, I'll bite. How can anybody mispronounce Nevada?
Or was it simply an accent issue?

4. He said "Nevahda". Should be "Nevadda"
It's a big deal to people who live there.

6. One is the correct Spanish pronunciation and other is the gringo one.

They are both fine.

This old gringo uses them both as more and more people are doing.

We are going through these changes here in Los Angeles where street names are slowly giving way to the correct Spanish pronunciation.

I don't have a problem with either.

7. The people in Nevada
seem to prefer Nevadda. They gave Michelle Obama a hard time over it just yesterday.
