Yeah, they didn’t die after the bomb went off in 1977, they went back to the present time on the island. I think Kate was in a tree Juliet was in the blown up hatch, etc. The bomb did not create the flash sideways. That is why the flash sideways is not really a sideways, it is a flash forward and is the future for the characters like Jack went there to the afterlife, after he died on the island, but then some characters like Kate went there after they lived and died later on off the island.
There would be no loop because that is not what the wheel was doing. The wheel was moving the island through time and the bomb moved the losties through time as well though not the island. I think because our losties were there at the time that the wheel got messed up that they were the ones that were moving through time while everyone else was not. At lest that makes sense to me.
The so called flash sideways is a flash forward. When you die, you step out of time, so while everyone started being in the flash sideways at the same moment, that does not mean they died at the same moment. It is just they died and were outside of time, so they were all together in the place of waiting.
I am not sure what you are asking about moving on because that is more about the peace they were trying to figure out for the characters and whether or not they were ready to let go of what happened in their lives.
