That is one heck of a nicely equipped 182!

Do you have the Garmin GFC500 auto pilot? I fly 2 planes with that AP. One with a GPS400W and one with a GTN750XI. Both will turn much sharper than 90 degrees, for example, while the TOGA button is flying back to the IAF and I activate the approach to make another pass the turn is maybe 150 degrees.

I think you forgot to mention that alt bug needs to be set at your low point of the AP visual descent before you expect AP to descend.

Still can’t get this to work unless I’m at less than a 90 intercept

What does it do if you arm approach mode during any of this?
