I know Sovq runs a bot that can deal with double redirects, as well as others (I assume that's a pywikipediabot script as I've seen nothing that would help with them on AWB), but there's a way there to 'know' where the redirect should go with double redirects. I doubt any amount of logic would be able to read spelling mistakes and/or abbreviations to know where a redirect should link to, or if it was possible how much work it would take to maintain. The benefits are somewhat overshadowed by the difficulties in setting it up.

As for a AWB guide, the one on wikipedia is very much short-coming. Many of the features are undocumented on wikipedia itself apart from a passing mention of "This feature has this option" with no further explanation. It's not the easiest tool to get your head around. You would think the maintainers of the software would take some interest in making it usable, but if I remember correctly the guides are written by those who don't write the code, rather by those who happen to know how to use it. I think there's an IRC channel dedicated to it, if you have specific questions about it.
