My main question probably doesn't have an answer as of yet, which is, what happened to Sigma before all this mess. What made Sigma plan the nonary game in the first place? He was probably influenced by Akane, which as an esper, probably knew all the events that would happen in the future.

After that the rest is very clear, the events of the game happened and the first switch was made between old and young Sigma, and this is when old Sigma loses his arms in the Nevada test site. 

Okay. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be thinking that there is some kind of an original timeline in which Sigma came up with the AB Project on his own? Is that right?

Kind of. Is basically like the main branch of tree, and then it started to create other branches. The timeline where Sigma started to plan the AB project and all that is the main branch of all the timelines that happened in the game are the roots.
