Just a typo. I've done this myself several times:
[session nextpage aboutus]

Just like any other command--you can't put in the equal sign like
that. Technically it is
[session field=nextpage value=aboutus]
The way we normally write it is just a shortcut.

Try using a template for the mail body:
[box mybody][box]
[session who {id}]
[session remotehost '{wv-remote_host}']
...
/*
[[#mail]]
Stuff from my website:
From: {+who}
Host: {+remotehost}
{+mybody}
[[#end]]
*/
Insert the form lines into the form and the template at the end of the
same page. You might have to tinker some to get it right. I'm not sure
we have all the features of the mail function documented. At some
point I'd like to go back and rework it some more. Perhaps simplify
it. And document it more thoroughly. And then rewrite the email plugin
to give it more advanced capabilities.

Try this:
[text mysubject]
[session subject "WebForm - {=mysubject}"]

I just tried this snippet and it seemed to work:
[form]
Email: [text Email] [submit Check]
[session validate_Email "/^...@.+\..+$/ ? : warn=This email fails"]
[session warn]
[session nextpage "main"]
[form]
