So I'm having trouble with certain examples and figuring out whether they'd be a sequel or a SpinOff.

Take PiratesOfTheCaribbean. The fourth movie is listed here as a spin-off, when I'd think it's just a sequel since it shares the main character (let's face it, Jack wound up being the main character by the second movie) and title. Or the belowmentioned Ben 10 series, which seem like straight up examples of SequelSeries.

The description is broad enough (\"The main character is revisited elsewhere in his narrative.\") that you could consider literally any sequel a SpinOff. Going with that definition, RockyIII could be considered a SpinOff. Which seems like madness.
