The second screenshot overlays the VVEL (magenta) and VVT (red). There is truly a lot going on with every movement of the throttle pedal.

from what i've read about VVT, the VVT advance should be zero (ie. not advanced nor retarded) when the gas pedal is at rest. Unless Nissan's CVTC system is different to that of other makes. Or i may have just misunderstood the materials i've read.

Your screenshot is of interest to me because i am trying to figure out an intermittent throttle response loss, which occurs mainly when the engine is fully warmed up.

Your VVT cam angle appears to be advanced at approx 35* when you are coasting which is pretty much the same conclusion i formed after graphing my Uprev logs. The only time cam angle is at zero is at a standstill idling.
