Also, I misunderstood the C-u and thought it's the same as a while loop.

@NickD Thanks. The M-m C-f is just a heuristic to get into the top-level sexp. e.g. in |(add1 1). C-M-n will do nothing. After the initial move, (|add1 1), C-M-n works. Maybe there are better ways..

Why is the initial M-m C-f necessary?

Given your last question, you probably realize that this is not sufficient if you start deeper than a nesting level of 4. I don't know how to repeat until you get the error, but using a C-u C-u prefix will suffice for 16 levels which is probably more than enough in practice - but you can use three of them for 64 levels if necessary - that should be enough for all practical purposes.
