Perfect, that is exactly what I needed, thanks.

It is specified here. Also, you can check markings on the chip, they are explained here

I am using 1.1.0, but where can I view the list of which versions are Engineering a, b, c, and revision 1?

Check this.

If you are using PCA10040 0.9.0, you have Engineering B version of the chip. But It is more probable that you have PCA10040 1.1.0 or 1.1.1 (or newer?) so you have Revision 1 chip. If you have any of them, you can use any of SDK from 11.0.0 version, all from the last (currently) row. I would stick to 12.2.0 right now if you don't need any features from bluetooth 5 though.

OMG hand meets face. Thank you, that makes perfect sense why it was acting that way. As for compatibility though, should I be able to use any of the SDK packages listed in Revision 1?

By default, examples in SDK are compiled with full optimization, which causes debugging difficult. Turn off optimization, recompile and it should be ok. Or you won't compile because of the code size limit... (which is really annoying for some examples...)
