Is there a way to add an NSIS macro or override the NSIS template or something to allow inclusion of the UpgradeDLL macro? With that functionality I think I could achieve my goal. Thanks!

How to uninstall only if nothing else is using the dll. It appears that nsis has some helper functions: UpgradeDLL, AddSharedDLL, but I'm not sure yet how to include/call them through CMakeLists.txt. Does anyone have any insight?

Install dlls next to your program, not in the system32 directory. Do you have a reason you need to install a dll there?
