Then I figured we'd fly our ship down to the eye and things would more or less progress from there.

    What the Nomai detected was the brief pulse that got through when the Prisoner momentarily shut off the signal jammer, hence their confusion why the Eye signaled only a single time. Presumably, they ended up in the Hearthian solar system and got stuck in Dark Bramble because what they detected was actually the duplicated signal re-transmitted by the planet.

The signal jammer wasn't immediately turned back on, and they could just follow the continuous signal like the Strangers originally did. 2. The short pulse they detected was actually from the Eye. This isn't explicitly stated afaik, but you can infer based on the signal duplicating behavior of Dark Bramble, and the fact that they teleported _directly into the planet_, that they were following the DB-duplicated signal, not the original signal from the Eye. So they knew the Eye was probably close, but they needed the probe to find the exact location, etc. etc. you know the rest.
