comment Embedding torsion units of an order into torsion units of the reduced order.
Keen observation! I overlooked this minor detail myself. Your phrasing makes for a much nicer proof. And I never noticed that the sum of a zero divisor and a nilpotent is again a zero divisor.

comment Embedding torsion units of an order into torsion units of the reduced order.
I see now, thank you for your help (and patience). I failed to notice that in the equation $$\sum_{i=1}^n{n\choose i}x^i=nx\cdot\sum_{i=0}^n{n\choose i+1}\frac{x^i}{n}=0,$$ the right most summation is of the form $1+y$ with $y\in\sqrt{0_A}$, and hence a unit.

comment Embedding torsion units of an order into torsion units of the reduced order.
If $a$ is in the kernel of this map, then $a=1+x$ for some $x\in\sqrt{0}_A$, and it is a torsion unit. Hence there exist $m,n\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0}$ such that $x^m=0$ and $a^n=1$. The latter yields $$(1+x)^n=x^n+nx^{n-1}+\ldots+nx+1=1,$$ so $x^n+nx^{n-1}+\ldots+nx=0$, and we may reduce this to $$\sum_{i=1}^k{n\choose i}x^i=0,$$ where $k=\min\{m-1,n\}$. On the other hand, we may also write $$nx^{n-1}+n\frac{n-1}{2}x^{n-2}+\ldots+nx=-x^n,$$ which shows that $x^n\in(n)$, the ideal generated by $n$. But I don't see how this helps me.
