If only B pays to A, then is a payment directly through their private channel. So none of others business, to see or know.
But if the F is the payer and have to pay through D - B - A, for example, then, D and B knows the amount and scid destination.
You can use for example hosted channels (self hosted on your own CLN + Poncho) and open a HC with OBW wallet from your own node. OBW will generate a new nodeid every time you generate a new invoice. In that way you can hide your final destination.

Very concerning, I just noticed I had some random peers connecting to A despite only having the single unannounced channel to B. Not cool. Burning it to the ground and trying again.

No, That is normal to have peers connecting to your node and nothing to be worry. This is how LN works, creating a LN graph with peers.
Read and learn more how LN works before doing stupid stuff. Here you have all the info needed. https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/lightning-network-is-awesome
