If a main concern is getting money back due to false advertising, I would argue that the word "silver" used to sell any coin not made of silver is false advertising and is enough to get your money back. If the seller were to try and argue that "silver" was meant to describe the color, then I would argue back that the word "Nickel" was also used in the advertizing and could indicate color, composition, and the name of the coin and so the addition of the word "silver" is unnecessary unless one of those (color, composition, or name) is not accurately described by the word "Nickel", and the only one that might not be is composition, since the composition of some of them did not include silver, then any of those that were sold using the word "silver" were sold under false advertizing...Get your money back ... at least that's how my logic works.

First, is the non-silver 1942 coin still even considered a War Nickel? If not I might be able to get my money back due to false advertising, if I could see a link to something talking about this it would be great.

The non-silver 1942 isn't considered a "War Nickel." Not by coin collectors. And Google is your friend if you need evidence on that.
