I understand from this post:
Acheter qqch à/de/pour qqn
that "acheter qqch à qqun" could mean "to buy something for someone", or "to buy something from someone", and that only context clarify the ambiguity.
How do I say the following sentence in French, then, which requires both "for" and "from"?
"Can you buy a birthday cake for my nephew from that fancy bakery we went to last year?"

I would translate the following sentence:
Can you buy a birthday cake for my nephew from that fancy bakery we went to last year?
In french this way:
Pouvez-vous acheter un gâteau d'anniversaire pour mon neveu, à cette
boulangerie de luxe où nous sommes allés l'année dernière?
Q:Can I have more explanations about why did you use "à" in the last sentence ?
A: Yes, I'll try:
à is a french préposition used here in order to describe a destination;
FR: Où allons nous? Nous allons à Paris.
EN: Where are we going? We're going to Paris.
FR: Où allons nous pour acheter le gâteau d'anniversaire? Nous allons à cette
boulangerie de luxe où nous sommes allés l'année dernière.
EN: Where are we going to buy the birthday cake ? We're going to that fancy bakery we went to last year.
1) So if I say "I'm going to buy a birthday cake for my nephew, from Paul", I can still use "à", even though "Paul" is not a destination? 2) With "Je vais acheter un gâteau à mon neveu", could this indeed mean both "I'm going to buy a cake for my nephew" and "I'm going to buy a cake from my nephew"? 3) If I mean to say "for my nephew", is there a difference in meaning between "à mon neveu" and "pour mon neveu"?

The question you linked already tells a way to disambiguate the intended meaning when à is followed by a person:
J'achète un livre à/pour mon ami.
à : Ceci peut signifier deux choses selon le contexte :
- ...
J'achète un livre avec l'intention de le donner à mon ami.
pour : Ceci peut signifier deux choses selon le contexte :
J'achète un livre avec l'intention de le donner à mon ami.- ...
However, your English sentence is not a good example if this potential issue as you use a different à:
Can you buy a birthday cake for my nephew from that fancy bakery we went to last year?
Here from doesn't mean from someone but from some place. In such case, there is no ambiguity so you might still use à for both terms:
Est-ce que tu peux acheter un gâteau d'anniversaire à mon neveu à la super pâtisserie où on est allés l'année dernière ?
In any case, the meaning is very often obvious, even without more context than the sentence itself. e.g.
J'ai acheté des chaussures à mon fils (for my son)
J'ai acheté une langouste à mon poissonnier (from my fishmonger)
is it true that your example sentence (with "... un gâteau d'anniversaire à mon neveu à la super pâtisserie") could mean (even if it's very unlikely) "Can you buy a cake from my nephew (ie, paying my nephew some money), for the bakery (ie, giving the cake to the bakery)" ? Or is there in fact zero possibility of this sentence meaning this, because of some reason involving "à + [non-person]" always meaning "from [non-person]"?

The eventuality for à la pâtisserie to mean for the bakery is essentially zero. Even when the place is not a commercial one, you won't say à. The sentence j'ai acheté une nouvelle porte d'entrée à la maison is not idiomatic. There is however a slight possibility for the nephew to work at the bakery and then the cake to be for someone else's birthday: Can you buy a birthday cake from my nephew in that fancy bakery...

A: Yes, I'll try:
à is a french préposition used here in order to describe a destination;
FR: Où allons nous? Nous allons à Paris.

FR: Où allons nous pour acheter le gâteau d'anniversaire? Nous allons à cette

1) So if I say "I'm going to buy a birthday cake for my nephew, from Paul", I can still use "à", even though "Paul" is not a destination? 2) With "Je vais acheter un gâteau à mon neveu", could this indeed mean both "I'm going to buy a cake for my nephew" and "I'm going to buy a cake from my nephew"? 3) If I mean to say "for my nephew", is there a difference in meaning between "à mon neveu" and "pour mon neveu"?
