All of this makes sense to me and I believe I have crossed everything you
listed off my troubleshooting list.
Is there a way to see the status of the tunnel and what crypto is being
used to transmit packets between LANs?

Subject: Re: [Openswan Users] Firewall rules for openswan behind NAT
You've addressed some or most of what's in the following bird's-eye view;
it shouldn't hurt to review in case you've overlooked something.
You need to forward UDP ports 500 and 4500 on each firewall to the local
openswan box (limit it to coming from the remote IP/openswan box for added
security), and allow UDP ports 500 and 4500 out from the local openswan box
(preferably limit it to going to the remote openswan box for added
security).
This will allow either end to start the VPN. Each firewall should drop
packets destined for the remote LAN(s) since they don't know how to reach
them.
Logging them with a specific prefix would make it easy to discover
malconfigured nodes.
I don't believe protocols 50 and 51 are used when NAT-T is used.
Each internal node must have an explicit route to the remote LAN via the
local openswan box's IP.
Each openswan box needs route(s) to the local internal LAN(s) and a default
route via the local firewall's internal IP address. Openswan takes care of
adding/removing routes to remote LANs when it brings VPNs up and down.
Do you have a 'config setup' in each ipsec.conf, possibly similar to:
protostack=klips # or netkey or mast
interfaces=%defaultroute
klipsdebug=none
plutodebug=none
plutowait=no
uniqueids=yes
nat_traversal=yes
You might need a virtual_private declaration describing your internal LANs,
but probably not, since you aren't using a road warrior setup.
In each conn spec, you may need to specify ike= and esp=; that is, tell
openswan which encrytpion to use. I don't know what happens if you don't
specify any encryption methods. (Does openswan then transmit in the clear?)
I haven't played with NAT Traversal lately; I forget how to configure a
conn to make NAT-T work.
