Does this mean that nothing is incorrect or untrue, or that nothing is wrong with the state of things, how I feel, etc.?
It means nothing is incorrect. As far as feelings go, there's not a good literal translation of the English phrase on that one. You would rather ask "Was ist los?" (what's going on?) or something like that. But generally speaking Germans spend a lot less time asking people if there is something wrong with them, so it just doesn't come up that much.
I think the feelings version is "nichts in ordnung". I might be wrong. Anyone care to correct me?
No, that doesn't sound right, and would actually mean "nothing's right" instead of "nothing's wrong" Nichts ist los doesn't sound right either but I'm not native.
I think so too. I'm reporting it today August 2018, but can any one who knows confirm if this is right or wrong?
I think "nichts ist los" would have more of the meaning "nothing's happening" or "nothing's going on" but we really need a native to help us confirm this!
Here are a couple of examples of it's use on Reverso Context
https://context.reverso.net/traduction/anglais-allemand/nothing+is+wrong#Nichts+ist+los
"Kein" operates more like "not" than "nothing" - it negates other words. To the best of my knowledge, "Kein" never acts as a noun.
I think this means "Nobody is wrong" (actually that would be "KeineR ist falsch"), but I'm not German
Instead of using a double negation, why not simply say "Alles ist in Ordnung"? But that answer was not accepted.
