Sequential and simultaneous actions with “and”

Hello,

I was looking at the recent questions here and digging in some of the older interactions and found these three examples where I have hard time understanding and explaining why “and” is used to denote simultaneous actions in some cases and separate, sequential, actions in the other cases:
1) Surveil + Nexus of Fate: (https://apps.magicjudges.org/forum/topic/46286/)
2) Disinformation Campaign + Words of Wind (https://apps.magicjudges.org/forum/topic/46176/)
3) Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet + Thalia, Heretic Cathar (https://apps.magicjudges.org/forum/topic/40342/)

Is there a rule that makes this difference obvious or is there a rule of thumb in place?

Whatever reasoning I can think of, at least one out of these three examples wouldn’t fit in.

Thanks in advance,
LK
