Presumably, following the same coordinates allowed Cap to return to those timelines in order to put the stones back, which also erased those timelines once he left. Then he'd appear at the exact same place and time that the others did previously? Which would be different than what happened, thus creating another branch timeline, unless he was always there hiding and no one saw him?

And if the timelines were erased, how is the Loki show going to be following up on the 2012 Loki scene? Simply, timelines can't be erased. They are just put back on track on a similar course of the original timeline, and moves on their own from that point. Just like you can't change your own past, by the same rule it's not physically possible to cancel an entire reality simply by putting a Stone back. This is probably one of the weakest aspect of the Russo explanation and one of the thing that makes me regrets that they connected time travel rules with the Stones in the first place.
