First and Death are two different things. So firstly, the first appearance. Normally yes, it's supposed to be a publication appearance (Invaders #14), but for certain characters, like Nasland, who have special cases/bizarre retcons like this, I think it'd be acceptable to list both the first print appearance (First Historical) and the first appearance in story (First Chronological).

As for death. It's supposed to be the appearance of the character's death in story, or for some people, their latest death. Now, from what I remember, he died in What If? #4, and was not revived, and all subsequent appearances are flashbacks, mentions, reprints, or stories set prior to his death. If so, What If? #4 should be his death. Even though his death is shown again in an updated Flashback in Captain America & Bucky #625, it's just an update along the sliding timescale, much the same as Uncle Ben's death being shown in updated fashion for decades after his original death, or how Tony Stark's origin is constantly updated with each new American war that happens.
