Caribbean Travel from Miami to Nassau to Santiago de Cuba

Caribbean Travel from Miami to Nassau to Santiago de Cuba - Aerial Photo of Palm Trees

We (German passports) are currently planning a trip based around Miami in February. We also want to visit the Bahamas for a few days and move on towards Cuba.

Question 1: What is the current status regarding flights between the US and Cuba? From what I can see there are no direct flights from Nassau to Santiago, so we will have to travel via Miami or Havana when leaving the Bahamas. I have found flights from Miami to Santiago but was wondering whether or not these are really available to the public?

Question 2: Is there any potential issue with traveling through Miami multiple times in terms of customs and immigration? Our Flight back home would also have to connect through Miami, simply because this is our cheapest option at the time. In this case our trip would be: home->Miami->Nassau->Miami->Santiago->Miami->home, which seems rather weird.

We are cleared to enter each of the countries individually, but would this sequence really work?
