Also, why had Mosby sent some of his men to winter camp in the Northern Neck of Virginia? Did his timing coincide with Booth arriving in Southern Maryland with his kidnap plans in November of 1864? The timelines here seem eerily linked.

Indeed they do - about this time, late 1864-1865, Powell was bragging to others about his "raid into Maryland".....indeed makes one wonder!
